Shape Up San Francisco: The Shape Up San Francisco Coalition is a multidisciplinary body convened to address the epidemic of chronic disease through primary prevention and environmental strategies, with an emphasis on physical activity and nutrition. Shape Up SF is committed to reducing health disparities in chronic diseases that disproportionately affect African American, Latino and Asian populations. Our mission is to increase the awareness of and opportunities for increased physical activity and improved nutrition where people live, play, work and learn.
Y Bikes: The Y Bike PE program teaches youth safe bicycle riding and street skills in their regular school physical education class. This is achieved through a services of bike handling drills and the simulation of traffic situations of progressive difficulty, culminating in a group neighborhood ride. The ultimate goal is to teach students how to ride safely through their city and to train PE teachers how to implement the curriculum (which meets CA State PE Standards) on their own.
The PE program is a safe, fun way for students to learn basic safety, handling, and communication skills, while giving them the confidence they need to successfully navigate basic traffic situations. Students do not need to have ever ridden a bike before starting the program.
