"The number of kids who bike or walk to school in the US has fallen from nearly 50 percent in 1969 to 13 percent today", according to an article by Amy Pearl.
To increase the number of students riding, and more importantly, teach them to ride predictably and safely, a NY bike group held a clinic for local middle schoolers entitled, "Bike Like a Driver".
Bike like a driver is a concept all bike riders need to know and practice.
An equally pressing question is, how do we get more kids on bikes?
One program designed to do just that is the Safe Routes to School program.
