Educating our youth to be bike aware and also loving alternate modes of transportation are just a couple of the things our team discussed with the BMHS students. 

Our team performed bike safety checks and talked about how awesome it is to enjoy all of our roads and trails safely.

Fostering a love of bikes at a young age not only keeps us all safer on the roads and trails, but it also helps to develop important life skills such as balance, coordination, and independence.  As we look towards the upcoming summer and start planning activities, it is crucial to prioritize healthy options and consider biking as a fun and effective means of transportation.  Whether it’s a family bike ride, a solo adventure, or a group outing with friends, there are endless opportunities to explore and enjoy the outdoors on two wheels.  So grab your helmet, pump up those tires, and let’s ride!
