"By building covered and secure bike racks at schools, we help build lifelong bike commuters and thus"
Hardly. Millions of kids rode their bikes to school in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. I don't see millions of bike commuters.
"promoting bike commuting at Garfield in the Central District, we can also take one small step in breaking the racial divide in the environmental movement"
Racial enviromentalism?

On a hot, still morning she took off from Tunisia to bomb the southern tip of Italy. An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.
