BMW Motorrad USA, in partnership with the Barber Vintage Festival, have joined together to deliver 24 brand-new All Kids Bike balance bicycles, helmets, pedal conversion kits, one instructor’s bike and rolling storage racks to the very excited kindergarten class of Leeds Primary School in Leeds, Alabama.
In 2023, BMW Motorrad USA celebrated the 100 Year Centenary of the BMW Motorcycle brand by hosting the very first Motorrad Days Americas in partnership with the Barber Vintage Festival in Birmingham, Alabama. The event drew the largest crowd in Vintage Festival history and was a great celebration of the motorcycling community. The Kids Zone at BMW Motorrad Days Americas featured All Kids Bike bicycles for younger attendees to enjoy on an “off-road” obstacle course, because one is never too young to experience The Spirit of GS and to be part of the amazing rider community.
Supporting the rider community, both young and old, and both motor and pedal-powered, is why BMW Motorrad USA and the Barber Vintage Festival partnered with All Kids Bike to make this important donation to Leeds Primary School.
“We are excited and proud to be able to join hands with the Barber Vintage Festival and with All Kids Bike to help the next generation learn how to ride bicycles.” said Luciana Francisco, head of marketing and product, BMW Motorrad USA. “Many of us began our lifelong passion for two wheels on a bicycle, and there is no more fun way to learn good balance, important motor skills and get exercise than on a bicycle. We are honored to be part of the new bicycle riding course during physical education classes at Leeds Primary.”
Lisa Weyer, executive director of Strider Education Foundation, the nonprofit that operates All Kids Bike, expressed her gratitude for BMW Motorrad USA and Barber Vintage Festival’s partnership. “I commend the support of generous donors like BMW Motorrad USA and the Barber Vintage Festival and their recognition of the profound importance of the All Kids Bike program, which empowers us to bring the joy of riding to countless children, fostering not only physical skills but also a sense of freedom, confidence and happiness that will positively impact their lives for years to come. And potentially create future motorcycle enthusiasts.”
