Learn to Ride a Bike

A Free, All Ages, Drop-In Event For Not-Yet-Riders!

Thursday, May 7, 2026, 4:30-6:30 pm, 4J Education Center, 200 North Monroe St, Eugene

Do you or your child want to learn how to ride a bike? Join 4J, Bethel, and Springfield Safe Routes to School programs, the City of Eugene, the City of Springfield, Shift Community Cycles and Cascadia Mobility for this fun event with bike checks, free helmets and information about bike share.

We’ll start with balancing and gliding without pedals or training wheels. Some will learn to pedal in one session, while others may need more practice to reach that final goal. You don’t need your own bike to participate, but please bring a helmet and bike if you have one. Contact Safe Routes to School at mazze_s@4j.lane.edu or albee_b@4j.lane.edu with questions or to volunteer.

JOG A THON IS COMING!!! May 15th!

Please look for a green flyer with information about our school Jog-a-thon Friday May, 15th at 1:00 pm! This green flyer should be sent home with your student today, April 27!

Please email allen_ka@4j.lane.edu if you do not receive this flyer by the end of this week!

If you are interested in volunteering, you must fill out and pass a volunteer background check - which takes about two weeks to go through!

You can access the volunteer application here.

If you already have an up to date volunteer background check completed, and you would like to help out at the jog-a-thon, please email allen_ka@4j.lane.edu.
