RJ Longstreet Elementary School celebrated the introduction of the balance bike program with a kickoff event alongside Teddy Morse’s Harley-Davidson attendees, who had the opportunity to build the bikes for the program beforehand.
All Kids Bike, the national 501(c)(3) nonprofit teaching kindergarten students how to ride bikes in PE class, is activating their All Kids Bike Kindergarten PE Learn-to-Ride Program at RJ Longstreet Elementary School, thanks to a generous donation from the Flying Piston Benefit.

The comprehensive program includes teacher training and certification, complete curriculum with lesson plans, games and activities, a fleet of 24 Strider balance-to-pedal bikes, pedal conversion kits, fully adjustable student helmets, an instructor bike with pedal conversion kit and helmet, two rolling storage racks, and access to a resource portal with live support for the life of the program.
Lisa Weyer, executive director of the Strider Education Foundation, expressed appreciation for the partnership with the Flying Piston Benefit, emphasizing the transformative impact of early bike riding education.
“Learning to ride a bike is a transformative experience that builds confidence, independence, and lifelong skills. At All Kids Bike, we see this as the first step in a journey that can lead to a lifelong love of two wheels—whether it’s a bicycle or a motorcycle. The Flying Piston Benefit is committed to fostering this passion, as they help inspire future riders while promoting an active and adventurous lifestyle.”
At RJ Longstreet this program will positively impact approximately 40 kindergarten students each year by teaching them how to ride a bike in kindergarten PE class. With a lifespan of 7-10 years for the equipment, it is estimated that up to 400 students will benefit from this initiative over the next decade.
The Flying Piston Benefit and All Kids Bike are committed to enriching the lives of young learners and cultivating valuable skills through the joy of bike riding. This collaborative effort exemplifies their dedication to building healthier, happier communities, one pedal at a time.
