Focusing on children who are at risk, CYCLE and ISDs select elementary schools and work with administrators and teachers to offer earn-a-bike contracts to all students who want one. Those contracts call for children to improve their performance in academics, attitudes and behaviors. The contracts are aimed at achieving better literacy. Once children receive their bicycles, they use them for fun, exercise and as basic transportation.
