However, things don’t need to be this way. A significant chunk of students live a 10-20 min bike ride from school yet are still shuttled around by family or neighbors because biking often seems too stressful or dangerous. If we want to reduce the traffic on our roads, improve the quality of our air and allow our students to be more independent, we urgently need to improve the safety and experience of our biking infrastructure.
