The Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools program celebrated its most successful Bike to School Day to date on May 8th, thanks to dedicated students, parents, school champions, and staff! Ridership more than doubled from 2013, with 5,000 students gearing up and biking to school this year. The number of schools participating has also grown substantially from 10 in 2011, the first year the program joined in with Bike to Work Day, to 90 schools in 2014. Some schools even hosted a Bike to Work Day Energizer Station as part of their event. We hope this was only the beginning for some inspired riders to make biking a habit.
