Walk and Wheel to School Day
This past Wednesday I had a great opportunity to wake up early and give back to the community. A few local Pro XC riders along with myself joined up with the local school district to celebrate the annual Walk and Wheel to School day. The event was started in Denmark back in the 70’s and now has spread worldwide in an effort to encourage kids to walk and bike to school safely. There was a great showing to the event which included a walk and ride around the local school where we demonstrated proper bike safety to the kids including wearing a helmet and obeying the laws of the road. I had a great time along with the other Pro riders.

I hope that this event continues to grow throughout the US and kids become more active and safe at all times.
