Bike To School Month

May is National Bike to Work Month. In the spirit of commuting by bike Cascade Bicycle Club puts on Bike to School Month each May. Biking to school creates daily exercise habits, reduces car traffic and air pollution, and teaches your child safe cycling habits.

Over the month of May Elementary School students log their daily trips by bike to earn prizes. Parent or teacher coordinators from the school handle student sign ups, publize the event at the school and distribute prizes. Cascade provides the materials, prizes and support.

Middle and High School students are encouraged to sign up for the Group Health Commute Challenge.

Students can cycle to school on Bike to Work/School Day along with thousands of other cyclists from the greater Seattle area. Schools set up stations to pass out goodies to students who cycle to school.

If you are interested in signing up your school or have any questions contact Julie Salathé, [email protected]
