National Bike to School Day

May 6
Students and guests gather at Whittier Elementary for Bike to School Day in 2015.

Schools across the United States celebrate National Bike & Roll to School Day each spring with bike to school parades, special safety lessons, and more. But the movement doesn't stop there! According to the National Center for Safe Routes to School, local Bike & Roll to School Day coordinators across the country report that simple one-day events have led to great changes such as long-term walking and rolling programs, new sidewalks and pathways, and needed policy changes at schools and in communities. Improvements that normally take a long time to institute can happen quickly when city officials walk or roll to school with students and see firsthand what needs to be done.
