The Bike-to-School Program was launched in December 2006 at the PEPY Ride School, providing bikes to graduating 6th graders as an incentive to remain in school while also providing transportation to reach secondary schools. National statistics note that only 26% of students continue to secondary school. After the implementation of the Bike-to-School Program, approximately 90 percent of 6th graders at the PEPY Ride School continued to 7th grade. The Bike-to-School ceremony is an annual highlight at the PEPY Ride School, as students are recognized and rewarded for their hard work.
