Not much of a ride but one of the highlights of my day. I do not comprehend the gaggle of motorists waiting in a line outside his school. It is so much easier to ride.
On the one hand the bike rack is right by the door at one end of my son's school, so he can spend less time in the rain running from bike to school (net of uh biking in the rain in the first place) than other kids do from the parking lot to the door at the other end of the school.
On the other hand, they lock the school up pretty tight after the school day which means the 2 doors convenient to the bike rack when I come to get him from his afterschool activity tend to be locked and I often need to trudge all the way around the building to where I can get in to get him. I have wondered about having him lock up at the car side of the building that stays unlocked later but they are pretty uptight about clearance or whatever other issues relate to things not being where they're supposed to be.
