How Was Your Commute Today?

[Tri Girl]

I didn't realize that was today. I'm glad my daughter happened to bike to school today! It was beautiful weather for it. Maybe next year I'll suggest that the school observe the day.

I had to beg and barter and practically get on my knees to get my principal to let me do it with the kids. Sadly, we are such a litigious society, she was terribly afraid that someone would get hit or hurt and sue the school. 97% of our kids are dropped off by parents (we are a Parochial so no buses for the kids). Most kids don't live close enough to walk or bike, but we had a TON whose parents dropped them off at the end of the block and they walked the block to school. I was thrilled. One kiddo rode his bike 5 miles by himself (a 3rd grader). I was SOOOO pleased with him! Yippee!!

Good job to your daughter (she bikes most days, doesn't she?).
