WHAT WE DO

CLASSES

As more people turn to alternative transportation methods, such as walking, bicycling, e-bikes, e-scooters, skateboarding and roller skating, it is important for everyone--including motorists--to know their responsibilities and the rules of the road.

Our interactive classes, offered in person and virtually, cover a variety of topics related to bicycle and pedestrian safety. We have classes for children and families, older adults and other Long Beach community members. Classes are available in English and Spanish and can be interpreted in, Khmer, Tagalog and ASL.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES

Walk & Roll hosts and participates in community-based bicycle and pedestrian safety initiatives throughout Long Beach, including:

• Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Rodeos: Using a fun, hands-on "learning by doing" approach, youth ages 5-17 build street safety knowledge and bicycle handling skills in a non-competitive environment. Participants practice helmet use, traffic signals and safe riding and walking habits to confidently navigate real-world traffic.
• On Foot Trainings: In partnership with schools, after-school programs and youth-serving organizations, staff provide dynamic pedestrian and bicycle safety trainings-both on foot and on wheels- so youth can practice safe street habits in a structured setting. 
• Bicycle Helmet Distributions: FREE bicycle helmets and professional fittings are available to participants of Walk & Roll bicycle safety education at schools and community events. Helmets are funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety and are subject to availability.
• Event Pop-Ups: Walk & Roll can attend community events with interactive booths featuring games, safety signs, posters, and a spinner wheel to share street safety education and resources. 
• Walk and Bike Audits: Join a guided walk or bike ride in your neighborhood to share feedback on walkability and bike-ability. Participants observe traffic conditions, sidewalk quality, bike lanes, and overall safety. This community input helps improve street safety and accessibility for everyone.
