New School Transportation: Bike Buses

What is happening? Kids are riding their bike to school in mass on a specific day each week supported by watchful parents, community members. A teacher rides with the kids blasting upbeat music.

Why does this matter? The idea is a brain child of a physical education teacher in Oregon who wanted to encourage kids to ride their bikes to school once a week. As an added bonus, the bike buses reduce the stress of parent drop offs and pick ups at school.
