All. Rock. I grew up in central Florida (in the '80s and '90s) and I can remember how frustrating it was to be stranded in a car culture, dependent on my parents for rides. I am soooo happy to see these people taking their freedom back. Keep up the momentum -- every high school in Florida should start something like this! And yeah, yay for teachers who help students start their own clubs -- those kids will remember you forever. I know I do. You. All. Rock.

This video is terrifically inspiring. Congratulations to your husband and all the kids. Just a reminder. There is no conclusive evidence that helmets help in accidents. Skim the recent academic literature. I’m here via Streetsblog. This video is terrifically inspiring. Congratulations to your husband and all the kids.

Which was always a little tricky because I was riding solo. These kids showed some real iniiative and instead of waiting for a solution they made their own. If you don't have a bike bus at your school just leave some notes on the bikes you see at your school asking the bike owners if they would like to join you for a safe ride to school. It shouldn't take long before the word of mouth creates a group of riders to form a bike bus. I lived in Orlando from 1992 to 2003 and on occasion I commuted by bike.
