Portland, Ore. – Safe Routes to School
The students and faculty of Sunnyside Environmental have an entire curriculum dedicated to bike safety that emphasizes using non-motorized when traveling to school. As early as second grade, the children ride their bicycles to school thanks to neighborhood traffic calming. Students also arrive by foot, skateboard, and scooter. In the morning, it's a fabulous melange of energy watching scores of parents drop off their children by bike!
Young people using their bikes for transportation. There is hope for the human race after all. Good for you Sunnyside/Portland! Plus bonus points: an Xtracycle AND a recumbent! The cat at the end of the video was really cool too. Clarence, shine on you crazy diamond.
