Riding For Focus (R4F) was developed by Outride, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of youth through cycling. Outride’s Riding For Focus program, Research, and community grants harness the benefits of cycling for the cognitive, socio-emotional, and physical well-being of youth and their communities. A Riding For Focus grant provides schools with everything needed to get 6th-8th grade students riding, including bikes, helmets, teacher training, and curriculum. Concord School joins over 225 middle schools across the US and Canada that have implemented the program, impacting over 50,000 students annually. 


Riding For Focus Teacher Champions keep Riding For Focus programs operating as they teach students to ride, sharing the joy of bicycling and its benefits on our brains and well-being. We can't wait for Concord Middle School students to ride bikes at Concord and on the Kingdom Trails!
