Bill > HR4699

This bill, known as the BIKE Act of 2025 (Biking Instruction, Knowledge, and Education Act), amends section 405 of title 23 of the United States Code to allow states to use federal grant funds for providing on-bicycle education to elementary and secondary school students. The bill requires the Secretary of Transportation to revise the Highway Safety Program Guideline No. 14 on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety within one year of enactment, with specific goals of encouraging on-bicycle training that promotes bicycling skills, safe practices, roadway navigation, and traffic rule awareness. The revised guidelines must emphasize safety precautions and helmet use, and the Secretary must consult with education practitioners to update existing materials and curriculum. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Secretary disseminate new bicycle safety curriculum to state educational agencies and submit a report to Congress within three years, detailing the implementation of these guidelines, consultation efforts, and the process of sharing implementation challenges and successes among states. This legislation aims to improve bicycle safety education for young students across the United States.
