Area of Science:

Public Health
Pediatric Injury Prevention
Health Education

Background:

Urban children face high risks of bicycle-related injuries.
Limited evidence-based curricula exist for elementary school physical education (P.E.) bicycle safety.
The BikeSafe Elementary School Curriculum (BESC) was developed to address this gap.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of the BESC program in improving bicycle safety knowledge among elementary school students.
To assess the feasibility of implementing an off-bicycle curriculum in P.E. settings.

Main Methods:

The BESC program was implemented by P.E. teachers in nine public elementary schools for grades 2-5.
Students (grades 2-3 and 4-5) completed pre- and post-assessments.
Statistical analyses included McNemar's test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to evaluate knowledge changes.

Main Results:

Significant improvements in safety knowledge scores were observed for both younger (grades 2-3) and older (grades 4-5) students.
Students demonstrated enhanced understanding of visibility, hand signals, and built environment awareness.
The curriculum requires minimal equipment, facilitating integration into existing P.E. programs.

Conclusions:

The BESC program effectively improved elementary students' bicycle safety knowledge.
BESC is a scalable and viable alternative to on-bike instruction for school settings.
Wider adoption of BESC can contribute to youth injury prevention and promote safe cycling behaviors.
