Norwood Elementary School students are learning the art of cycling, fitness and balance with a donation of 24 new bikes and helmets from Yamaha.

Officials from Yamaha, Windrock Park and the school system gathered in the school’s gym to unveil the bicycles on Wednesday, March 25.

Yamaha Motor Corporation partnered with Windrock Park to bring its program “All Kids Bike” to the school.

Norwood Principal Lindsasy Foust said the bikes and accessories cost more than $9,000, but Yamaha had funded the program fully.
