6 bikes donated at Día del Nino

Bonus: tamales for brunch and this little girl's eyes when she saw the tricycle from far off.

Just give people money to buy e-bikes ffs.

Northbound travel counts:
8 people biking 🚲
9 vehicles 🚗

“Nearly 50 percent of American school-age children walked or biked to school in the late 1960s. In 2009, only 13 percent did.”

The Bike Bus movement, led in large part by Sam Balto/Bike Bus World has helped countless children and families bike to school safely and joyfully 👏❤️

Pre-School Street counts and observation.

Every grumpy business owner who thinks bikes are bad for business needs to see this video.

Rain 🌧️ is no deterrent for families in Odell. They show up for Earth 🌎 Day walk and roll to school.

Thanks to a $25,000 grant from GHSA and National Road Safety Foundation, these families will have a demonstration Puma 🐾 Path to school from August to October!

3 cool kids kick off Friday:
- Everson is my fashion and pop culture buddy
- Rian got a new bike from me this week and he is the younger brother of my bike club member
- Bailey is riding her brand new bike she got for her birthday

T Swift 'Gorgeous' was their #bikebus 🎶

Bike Club takes the longest after school ride yet, 7 miles.

We had a nice mix of city streets, trail and rural streets AND beautiful sunshine!

Then the same thing happened neighborhood-wide!
