Childhood obesity is a serious subject. So serious, Children?s Hospital Colorado and UnitedHealthcare have teamed up to start a research program studying the health benefits of cycling for youths including its impact on fighting childhood obesity.
The study is a part of ?Bikes For Life,? a youth program launched last fall to distribute 1,000 bicycles and helmets to kids statewide over the next three years. ?Bikes For Life? also receives in-kind support from USA Pro Cycling Challenge, one of the nation?s largest professional road races.
?Bikes For Life? encourages cycling as a healthy and safe activity for children and their families in Colorado. Along with providing bicycles and hosting ongoing community cycling safety events, the program features a research component that will be conducted by the Children?s Colorado Child Health Clinic and Weight Management Clinics.
