the "Traffic Safety C.I.T.Y." (Creative Interactive Traffic

You have to see it to believe how effective this program is for children 11 years old and younger to understand the best methodology to teach the abstract concept called traffic. The streets are brought to the youth in a safe environment, setup in their multipurpose room or auditorium. Like a theatrical stage setting using real photographs they are transported into a community streets with familiar landmarks. To learn more go to Elementary Program.

During the 2007 ACURA LA Bike Tour YES Cycling Clubs and PAL programs had 583 participants and during the 2008 ACURA LA Bike Tour there were 458 pYES-PAL participants, everyone finished with a smile. YESports is designed as a school and
a youth organization supplier of bicycle safety education, training,
bicycles and bicycle accessories. Schools and youth organizations can
sign-up to be a YES Cycling Club. All YES Cycling Club members are able
to purchase new products at reasonable prices. Everything you need to start bicycling seriously from tire patch kits, to bicycle car carriers, to helmets for safe riding. But that is not all. Your cycling club membership will be listed. Your club can earn free bicycles. Each YES Cycling Club will receive a quarterly e-mail newsletter and much more. Coaches, teachers and mentors your hard work is making a difference. I hear this everyday from the various sponsors of School Cycling Clubs. We are not just a feel-good-after-school activity. We are making a difference in children lives. The teachers at a local Middle School boasted that 10 out of the top 15 high grade scoring students in the school are in their Cycling Club. The students' grades improved and they made the honors list. The reward of going on a fun ride to the beach or park is inspiring students to keep their grades high so they are allowed to go. At our annual ACURA New Bicycle Giveaway, the most outstanding student in each club receiving their bicycles are "B+ or A" students. We are so proud of all our club volunteers and students for the great job they are doing. Keep up the great work.
