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!

Bike to School Day is May 19!!!


It's been a crazy busy time at Activate Omaha. We owe you some fun updates on the bike blender parties that have been going on at Walk 'n Roll schools lately, among other things!

In the mean time, we hope that you will all join us May 17 - 21 in celebrating national Bike to Work Week! Of course, the kid equivalent of this is Bike to School Day, and we will be celebrating this on Wednesday, May 19.

We are keeping this low-key for a reason: It doesn't have to be complicated...ride with your kids and enjoy the morning together. Make sure you're wearing a helmet and that you lock up the bike when you get to school!
I would love to have a folder bursting with pictures of full bike racks like the one pictured here! Go for it!
