The BIKE Act of 2025 allows states to use federal highway safety grant funds to provide bicycle education programs for elementary and secondary school students. The bill requires the U.S. Department of Transportation to update its pedestrian and bicycle safety guidelines within one year to encourage on-bicycle training that covers safe riding skills, traffic rules, road navigation, and helmet use. The Secretary of Transportation must consult with education experts to develop or revise curriculum materials and share them with state education agencies. Within three years of the law's passage, the department must report to Congress on how states are using these funds and guidelines, what new materials were created, and any challenges or successes in implementation. Overall, the legislation aims to improve bicycle safety knowledge among school-age children by funding practical education programs.
