Over the past month, both Eagle Valley and Battle Mountain high schools hosted safe driving fairs. The fairs aimed at educating students about the importance of driving safely as well as on the perils of impaired and distracted driving. Battle Mountain hosted its fair on Wednesday, May 4, and Eagle Valley on Wednesday, April 5.
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.
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!
