Strawbridge Elementary School buzzed with excitement one recent morning as kindergarten students eagerly gathered in the gymnasium for a surprise bike reveal, courtesy of engineering firm HDR and the All Kids Bike initiative.
Principal Jacqueline Sargent kicked off the event and introduced HDR representative Tim Kearney. The room erupted in cheers when shiny bikes, each missing pedals and training wheels, were unveiled. Students were fitted with helmets and guided through the basics of bike riding by PE teacher Isiah Brown and other staff members.
