Well, I did a "Bike to School Day" for some of my middle schoolers today. We had 21 kids show up, mostly 6th graders, the dean of students, three teachers, myself, a state trooper to take sweep and a fire truck to lead the way. We did a 2.7 run and the kids loved it. Such a blast.

I'll bet a third showed up with almost no air in thier tires. (We had pumps.) Point being that I don't think they are getting ridden that much.

But I have to tell you it was cold!! Maybe 40 degrees I'm not sure. And my office at school was not heated, so I never did warm up.

It was great getting the kids out. Particularly with gas prices being what they are, maybe it will inspire thier parents to get out and ride and maybe talk to the town planners about making the roads a little more bike friendly for commuters. Took lots of pictures, had lots of laughs, just a great time.
