Neighborhood Bike Trains! Expanding Bike Fit Frida

By:

A parent from our school community organized Bike Fit Fridays beginning Fall of 2010!  Bike Fit Fridays were an addition to the National Bike to School Month.  Now, neighborhood "Bike Trains" have been organized every Friday to encourage more students to get out biking!  Students and Families meet at a specific home within the 5 neighborhoods the bike trains originate.  From their, the trains depart so that students and other family members can safely ride to school with adults supervising their rides and safety!
