Bike safety and fun for students at Crown Point Junior Music Academy got a boost on Oct. 21 as a community-sponsored bike rodeo taught 70 young riders the basics of the road. San Diego County Bike Coalition instructor Randy Van Vleck joined sailors from Naval Beach Group 1 in the after-school program, funded through a grant from the San Diego Association of Governments and iCommute, with other support from Beautiful PB. Van Vleck, along with sailors Graham Copeland and Colby Kopp, guided students through a series of mock intersections, with stop signs and other hazards, and six students learned to ride bicycles. Copeland and Kopp spent their afternoon holding onto and running beside bikes as willing students learned these valuable life skills.
