The Texas SuperCyclist Program is a nationally recognized and comprehensive bicycle safety education course for Texas’ 4th and 5th grade elementary school P.E. teachers and their students. In an attempt to institutionalize bicycle safety and physical fitness standards in Texas schools, the Texas Bicycle Coalition Education Fund (TBCEF) sends field instructors to school districts across the state to train and certify P.E. teachers in the program so that they may, in turn, train their students in bicycle and pedestrian safety education.

Currently, with the financial support of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the U.S. Department of Education, and committed private and member donors, TBCEF is able to offer the certification training and all curriculum materials to each participating teacher for free.

The Texas SuperCyclist Program has gained both national and international recognition, and is considered the model for youth bicycle safety education. In 2003, the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducted an evaluation of the program and concluded that the program positively influenced children's behavior, essential skills, and knowledge gain. Teachers report that the SuperCyclist Curriculum is easy to implement in the classroom and that students enjoy the materials.
