Way to go, Leah! I'm a bicycle safety instructor and I teach Safe Routes to
School classes. Biking to school is great for kids for SO many reasons.
Adults have different priorities, but for the kids it is the freedom to go
where they want when they want; rather than have to wait for some adult t
Fantastic. Great job motivating your kids.
Hopefully it will catch on school wide.
Your Betty Foy is an eye catcher.
Nice necklace!

Awesome! My wife loves riding with our four daughters (two of them on the
back of her cargo bike) to Mass. It's similarly all down hill there, all up
hill back. I've taught them to "take the lane," riding in the right tire
spot of a car rather than as far over as they can. Much less stressful fo
My 9 year old can make it with only one stop for water over halfway up the
hill. My younger needs to stop and walk for a few blocks. But when the heat
goes away, I bet he can make it further. It's hard to do, even for me!

Leah is totally The Cool Mom.
When I was a kid, I wanted to ride to and from school to avoid the bullies
in the back of the school bus. My mother invited me to select a safe route,
draw a map (school was three miles from home) and then, early one Sunday
morning she would follow behind me in th

Really cool. We can change things, one person at a time.
Americans tend to be so overweight and, sadly, the kids are overweight, eat
poorly and don't exercise. what you're doing is exactly what we need. And
what a great way to start the day.

Thanks, All, for your kind words. I have also posted this to my Facebook
account, where it also drew an overwhelmingly positive response. That was,
until an uncle of mine noticed I was not wearing a helmet. I was stupid enough
to gently defend my case. When will I ever learn to just be quiet?
Yes, you were wrong...You should not have gently defended your case. You
should have vigorously defended your case.
I usually wear a helmet, but I have zero tolerance for non-cyclists who
insist that all bike riders should wear a helmet. For kids, helmet use is
required under California law. Fo
Doug - all so true. I did point out two articles that - one written by a brain
surgeon as to why helmets aren't all that helpful. He hasn't responded. Another
friend of mine said she was "shocked" that I don't wear a helmet. She wanted to
know what kind of roads I travel. I said:

Nah -- we've never had a major incident in NYC -- and we've been
everywhere, in all seasons. This kid crossed 57th Street when he was 5 or 6

Most excellent. Hope that dinner event comes together, & great that you've

The eyes lie. Watch the wheels! But if you are walking and making eye
contact you are probably safe.
