Kids on Bikes: Screen Time

This is a story product from CEC Awardee Kids on Bikes (KOB). KOB is a nonprofit organization working to increase the number of kids who regularly ride bicycles. The organization promotes the benefits of physical activity for children, by creating pathways for youth to earn their own bicycles and toolkits.

We talk to adults constantly about the increase of screen time for youth under the age of 18 — especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, but even in general before the pandemic. Kids (18 and under) average 7 hours and 38 minutes of 'screen time' each day and just 7 minutes in active play outdoors. _2015 Colorado Health Report Card_
