Biking to school is a life-changing transportation trick. It's time-efficient, cost-effective, and a boon to the physical and mental health of both kids and parents. It's also one of the most environmentally friendly ways to get around.
The benefits of children biking to school are profound and multifaceted. Beyond the physical and mental health benefits, the act of a child navigating themselves a couple miles through their city fosters a sense of confidence and independence.
Research shows that children who arrive at school by active means show up ready to learn and perform better academically. An investment in safe routes to school will pay dividends well into the future.
National data suggests younger school-aged kids actually bike less than they did two decades ago, even as adults and older teens bike more. This trend indicates a hostile built environment for kids.
