Biking for Kids
Individuals are change agents. Together, they are revolutionary.
BikeArlington recognizes the power in traveling together on bikes, walking, and rolling. This is why we’re committed to helping Arlington residents find ways to easily get their kids on board with building healthy habits early.

Practice on a Traffic Garden
A traffic garden is an interactive and kid-friendly, modeled street where kids can learn the patterns, designs, and rules of the road with actual lanes, intersections, crosswalks, and signs. Traffic Gardens help children learn how to behave and interact with other people out on the road. Learn more about Traffic Gardens, where temporary traffic gardens in Arlington are located, and how to build your own.
