I hope this idea spreads to other communities and schools. There is nothing quite so nightmarish as trying to navigate in the vicinity of a school in the morning or afternoon as students are arriving via behemoths driven by parents who seem to have eyes only for their own children. Its dangerous being a pedestrian, a cyclist or even another motorist. To have more students ride their bikes or walk would be a godsend in so many ways. It would be fun for the students, encourage a healthier lifestyle and be kinder to the environment. Ride on!! Hip-hip-hooray!! I hope this idea spreads to other communities and schools.
