When I was a kid, I almost always rode my bike to school. Granted, it was only about 5 or six blocks away and I could have walked, but it was always more fun to ride. Back then, the bike racks out front were always full. When I go past that school nowadays there are no bike racks at all.
I often wonder sometimes if the "problem" is fat, lazy kids who wouldn't know a bicycle if it fell on them or parents who are worried that perhaps their kids might get kidnapped or molested. I know my ex-wife won't let my son ride his bike to school, even though it's only two blocks away. Nope, he must take the school bus
