PRESS RELEASE!!!

Just wanted inform everyone of our efforts to increase Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety awareness throughout the Greater Tampa Bay Community:

Recently we have educated over 60 Hillsborough County Elementary Physical Education Teachers and other community members on teaching bicycle safety. Penn's Cycling School has partnered with Tina Russo and Safe Routes to School through St. Joesph's Children's Hospital. We use the exclusive Smart Cycling Curriculum designed by the League of American Bicyclists and only implemented by League Certified Instructors.

We hope that our efforts in the community will educate young people on pedestrian safety as well as how to ride their bikes cautiously and conspicuously. We want to help them develop an awareness on sharing the road with cyclists and watching out for pedestrians before they even get behind the wheel of a car.

For more information on our program you may contact Sharon at kidsrp.coach@juno.com or 813-482-4364.
