#walktoschool — Public Fediverse posts

Hundreds of students and parents turned out this morning for another great walk’n’roll event at Wildwood Elementary. Walking and riding to school are great ways to get exercise and have been shown to improve academic performance.

Thanks to all who showed up, including all the first responders who handed out stickers as kids arrived at school.

Why????

My bike camera is mounted almost 3' off the ground. There is zero reason for a vehicle this size to exist, much less to roam neighborhood streets while kids are out walking & biking to school.

Have you seen this one? Before & after of a brain after a 20 minute walk — illustrates why walking to work, or school, or just to get the intellectual juices flowing, has been strongly linked to better creative & intellectual performance.
Just one of MANY benefits of choosing to walk, for you and for society.
Design and build walkable cities.

Over on *that* site, local #NI news report how children here are the least physically active in Europe. Precisely 0% cycle to school, and the number of pupils walking has gone down year on year for more than a decade. The majority of primary school pupils are driven.

But is any surprise when our roads are the way they are, putting drivers and their vehicles first?
