Maybe some of the Betty awesomeness will rub off on your husband's bike in the car! :^) I've loved the responses to your post, and the bike bus might be workable. With 1000 students, there must be 1500 parents; if even 1% thought, "Yeah, I could try that," you'd have 15 kids. And... that would b

Bicycle bus - your comment was the second time I've heard it mentioned! The principal has been trying to get parents to create bicycle buses and walk to school - to no avail. We brave the streets when we can and take the sidewalk (legal here) when we can't - which is frequently because everyone
