I agree with you. I walked to elementary school, and junior high. I also commuted by bike in high school. It was great and I am glad you like it.

I agree that it should be encouraged. A shower isn't necessary if you don't push for a 7 mile commute.

Good luck and Congratulations,
/Duncan

I rode to school all starting in Jr Hi all the way until I was a senior. I also had to get my self to work, Boy Scouts and track mostly on the bike but when I worked my night shift my mom wouldn't let me ride so I took the bus. Of course way back when I was a kid it was hard keeping the candle lit in your head lamp :D

It is a grat thing you are doing not only for yoursellf but for your community keep on setting a good example
