Better Streets for Kids: Fixing US road safety education
The following is an adaptation of our presentation at the 2021 Safe Streets Summit.
Will COVID Bike Lanes Survive Cities?
Never mind toilet paper, COVID-19 has shown us that people haven’t forgotten about the humble bicycle. They have become the latest elusive product for commuting, recreation, and even business (deliveries, anyone?). Bike shops are out of stock, repairs are unstoppable, and according to Miami’s Coral Way Bicycle Shop, bike parts supplier J&B Importers sold 34,500 tubes in three days.
A New Era in Safe Streets
During an uncomfortable and brilliant presentation last year, Shavon Arline-Bradley addressed a room of over 500 Safe Routes to School conventioneers, boldly bringing related racism, discrimination, injustice, segregation, and social isolation to the discussion of transportation and health.
Walking to School, 1961: A story.
For the last four decades, walking to school has been declining – a fact often brought up by the National Safe Routes to School Partnership and the University of North Carolina’s Pedestrian & Bicycle Information Center, just to mention a few. With the advent of the Internet, it is easy to bring up articles and data compiled from around the nation to see this information in graphs.
Staying healthy and safe during COVID-19
The KiDZ Neuroscience Center hopes you, your family, friends, and loved ones are safe, as we learn to cope with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Our hearts go out to those who have been impacted by it.
Bike to School Day 2020 – Sunny Isles Beach K-8
Just like Bike to Work Day the week before, our Bike to School Day celebration was fun, packed, and greeted with an early morning rainshower. It didn't stop the kids one bit. Events like these show how kids around the country deserve safe, protected bike lanes that make riding to school a doable thing every day.
