National Ride Your Bike or Walk to School Day



Check out all those bikes! The best participation of the event in three years!

This morning I had the pleasure of partnering with Fire Up Your Feet, Twin Cities and their National Ride Your Bike or Walk to School Day. Every student that biked or walked in received a sticker to show off their success!
It was such a beautiful spring morning that many families came along and logged in their miles for Fire Up Your Feet. There are 60 schools that participate in the Fire Up Your Feet challenge, which is partnered with Safe Routes to School. Kids and families register online and log their miles to and from school. Olson Elementary has won the Fire Up Your Feet challenge twice before! With the money they've won they are adding another bike rack, which is clearly needed with it being over-filled this morning!
I had so much fun learning about Fire Up Your Feet and handing out stickers to the students and they came to school.
