Safe Routes to School is serious business

I was making my way to a 7:30AM meeting this morning; I was impressed with the number of walkers and bike commuters on Traverse City’s  streets.

A handful of them were of students. Complete with the extra large, extra stuffed backpacks.(Whose weighing those things?)

None of them had signs on them or were being stalked by their father.

Still, we’ve all seen the line-up of vehicles at the drop-off turnarounds. I didn’t see that today, but can easily imagine it and know that it was going on.

How do we move away from that model?

The song is annoying, but look at all the people Muppets on bikes! Great moment in cinema history for the bicycle…Why couldn’t we ride?

Riding has been excellent this past week; spring is here.

Here’s a little reminder about 30daysofbiking.com. And as a twitter hashtag #30DaysofBiking
