National Bike To School Day

Wednesday, May 9th was the first ever National Bike To School Day. Across the nation, schools, cities, bicycle groups, public health organizations and parents alike organized bike rides and bike trains to highlight and celebrate the benefits of cycling to school. It's great to see some South Florida schools take part in the event, hopefully next year more students and schools participate.
