The purpose of the project was to evaluate a bicycle safety education curriculum for elementary school-age children. The curriculum, entitled 'The Basics of Bicycling', was developed jointly by the N.C. Department of Transportation Bicycle Program and the Bicycle Federation of America. As this was a new curriculum, a major aspect of the current project was a field evaluation of its implementation in an actual school setting. The authors also wanted to evaluate its effectiveness in terms of: increasing children's awareness and knowledge of bicycle safety issues; developing safe riding skills and practices; encouraging helmet use; and ultimately, reducing the likelihood of serious injury. Measurements of these kinds of changes constituted their impact evaluation of the curriculum.
