Information on Bike to School Day

Larry Jablonski, a retired Urbandale principal, is a supporter for Bike to Work Week, an awareness event that advocates bicycling as a viable mode of transportation. One of the week's events is Bike to School Day in which students and school staff are encouraged to bike to school. Last year, Summit Middle School in Johnston had the most participation with over 800 students who rode their bikes to school on the designated day. This year's Bike to Work Week is scheduled for the week of May 9-15, 2009. Click here for more information on how your school can host its own Bike to School Day during Bike to Work Week.
