More Kids, More Often

Just a generation ago, the vast majority of kids that lived within a mile of their school walked or bicycled to get there. Today, that number is around 15%, and the childhood obesity rate and air quality issues tell the story. Join us as we encourage a new generation to embrace alternative forms of transportation that will improve the health and well being of everyone!

Walk, Roll, Win!

We have returned home from the National Bike Summit, full of renewed energy and spirit. Some of this may have to do with the fact that nearly all of the remaining snow melted while we were gone. :) Thank goodness!!!

At any rate, we are ready to ramp up the spring walk and roll to school activities, and hope you are ready as well. I'd like to think that convincing families to get out and walk or ride to school won't be a hard sell, given the level of cabin fever since December 9!

Watch this space for an update on our upcoming month-long challenge for April: Walk, Roll, Win! The"win" part refers to your opportunity to win a visit from the infamous Activate Omaha bike blender for a pedal powered smoothie party at your school! The Nebraska Dairy Council is sponsoring this event with us, so we will also have some great materials from them to provide for your students.

More info to come soon!
