Why????

My bike camera is mounted almost 3' off the ground. There is zero reason for a vehicle this size to exist, much less to roam neighborhood streets while kids are out walking & biking to school.

This is a very welcome 2023 annual report from the #SeattlePublicSchools Traffic Safety Committee with excellent progress and recommendations. Thanks to the committee esp. to @ME_Russell #WalkToSchool #BikeToSchool #Seattle #SeattleNews https://seattle.gov/documents/Departments/SDOT/BoardsCommittees/STSC/Seattle%20school%20traffic%20safety%20committee_AnnualReport_2023_ADA.pdf

Celebrating the end of Bike to School Week with a huge party. The kids loved the bike bling decorating station and obstacle course. The free bananas, oranges, and freezies were also very popular.

🚴‍♀️ 🚴 🚴‍♂️

There's nothing like seeing the joy on kids faces when they ride their bikes around. We just need more AAA bike routes so they can ride more often.

It brings great joy to my heart to see every bike rack was full and then some. Hundreds of kids biking and scootering to school today at our local Vancouver elementary. 🚴🛴

After school there will be a celebration party with bike decorating, an obstacle course, tune-ups, free snacks, and a DJ.

This is a big freaking deal. We have always biked to school. We paid far more than we could afford for a house that made this possible. We have arranged our work schedules and lifestyles and vehicle ownership choices around the fact that our kid can ride her bike to school. If you follow me on social media, you know that my identity is wrapped up pretty tight in the idea that kids should be able to walk or #BikeToSchool.

This morning's #BikeToSchool started out a little prickly, but it's hard to stay mad when you're riding a #bicycle. And if there's any angst leftover by the time you get to school, you can hug it out at the #bike rack.

This morning we met up with 6 (SIX!) other #KidsOnBikes during our ride to school. Six smiling, happy, slightly flushed faces, all bright eyed and ready to start their day.

The activity, socialization, & independence these kids are getting is no small thing. The change in my kid's resilience & attitude since she's been riding her own bike to school has been remarkable.

When we deny kids #SafeRoutesToSchool, we deny them a huge part of their life.

I'm so proud of this kid for refusing to let an unexpected rainstorm ruin her bike-to-school streak

#SchoolStreets protect kids from cars and pollution, and create space for #BikeToSchool #FreeRangeKids, #depaving and greening streets. All you need to do is push car traffic a block or two away from the front door for at least a couple hours of the day.

Day 21 of #30DaysOfBiking Rode with my child to school a distance we normally walk. They wanted to bike! Also took 2 neighbor kids and all their stuff in my box bike, no problem! #bikeToSchool

"Half (50%) of primary school pupils live a mile or less from school and of these, almost half were driven to school by car and 48% walked to school."

I am astonished this is not getting headlines. It takes 20 minutes to walk a mile. We are in the midst of an obesity and climate crisis, and it seems not driving such short distances might be part of the solution to both.

"How many people arrived by bike on this snowy day to school?": Finland edition. Great example of "If you build it, they will come... even in below-freezing temperatures!" #WinterBiking #BikeToSchool #BikeTooter

Happy Winter #BikeToSchool Day! The good news is there's a lot of car infrastructure we can repurpose for our multimodal future.

Thumbs up to the people who biked to school in 26 degree Fahrenheit weather! #Maine #winterbiking #biketoschool #BikeTooter

We drove to school this morning. (Second time this year. 😕)
So I loaded up the bikes for school pick-up. 👍⚡️🚲

One day not long ago my kid and I miscommunicated on how she was getting home from school and somehow she ended up under the temporary supervision of some other kid's babysitter and now there's an army of 3rd graders who make a point to stop me to tell me my child's whereabouts whenever they see me biking to pick her up.

I think this was my all-time top post.

For the record, school days are, were, and will always be bicycle days.

“Currently about 2/3rds of all Dutch children walk or bike to school, with 75% of secondary school kids cycling to school. By enabling safe and active travel, #Dutch cities prevent an estimated one million car journeys to school each morning.” — #modacitylife aka the Bruntletts in their great book #CurbingTraffic. #UrbanismBookClub #cities #cityplanning #urbanplanning #bikes #biketoschool #school #walking #biking

Count the number of happy kids on bicycles.

Then imagine the same number in cars.

This is one of the many reasons why removing one car lane for a protected bike lane doesn't increase congestion, but reduces it.

Also, health benefits.
