Back to School with Safe Routes
Biking and Walking to School Benefits Us All
The summer's flown by, and it's time for kids to head back to school,
but there's no reason to leave that bike at home.
Ozark Greenways is promoting a nationwide effort called "Safe
Routes to School". We're helping spread the word about identified
safe routes and encouraging groups to walk and bike together to
get to school. This effort is parent or teacher led and there are
many obvious benefits, including healthier happier kids, less traffic
congestion and safety. Yes - the fewer cars buzzing around schools,
the safer it is for the kids to walk and bike.
Maybe some day getting driven to school will be uncool!
Print 'n cut our new "Biking Basics Bookmark" here or
let us know if you'd like one mailed to you.
