This article examines the bicycle as not simply a means of transportation or as an exercise device, but rather as a vehicle for teambuilding and problem solving activities within a physical education curriculum. The activities described in this article focus on bike-centered initiatives that foster creative problem solving. They have universal appeal and can be used as a part of any teambuilding/initiative game-centered unit within a physical education curriculum for upper elementary through the high school level. These activities may require more than one class session to successfully complete or may fit perfectly into a block time schedule. The described activities will help support the physical educator in designing lessons that appropriately address the standards developed by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE). Each activity presented in this article provides the following information: (1) activity name; (2) picture; (3) description; (4) diagram; (5) setup; (6) materials/equipment; and (7) safety/class management considerations.
