But also - we are in need more racks at Nettelhorst! This one came last week after three years of asking but we still had about 15 bikes locked to fences and poles today. It’s been a real struggle to get them at schools.

Also, not a bad time to remind the kids about our rules on the bike bus before we ride!

Image of bikes with the text:
1. All riders stay behind the leader's back wheel
THIS IS TO MAKE SURE WE CAN KEEP ALL THE RIDERS SAFE AND STOP QUICKLY, IF NECESSARY.

Image of bikes with the text:
2. All riders stay ahead of the caboose's front wheel
THIS IS TO KEEP THE RIDERS SAFE FROM THE VEHICLES BEHIND US!

Image of bikes with the text:
3. When we ride on broadway, grown-ups form a wall against the yellow line. Kids ride on the right.
THIS IS TO KEEP THE KIDS FROM VEERING INTO TRAFFIC

Image of bikes and scooters with the text:
4. Pedal bikes are recommended.
THIS IS TO BE ABLE TO KEEP UP THE PACE AND REDUCE CRASHES DUE TO POTHOLES OR UNEVEN SURFACES A SCOOTER WHEEL -
CAN'T HANDLE.
PARENTS ON E-SCOOTERS ARE WELCOME!
