This week is Walk Bike Roll to School week for the students at Lincoln School. So that the adults in Lincoln don’t feel left out, the Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) is offering Walk Bike Roll FAQs week for adults; all you have to do to participate is read the daily message sent to LincolnTalk.
