Bicycling is truly a life-long physical activity. If we can get kids involved in biking safely now, the skills they learn today can serve them the rest of their lives. It can also teach them how to safely get around town while staying healthy and not polluting the air. The BEEP program will be part of the Physical Education department, but both Wuestner and McNamara agree that lessons learned would reach across the curriculum. We want kids to realize that life is full of choices that effect themselves, those around them and the environment.
Transportation is a choice.
You can choose to ride a bike because it s healthy, fun, non-polluting and allows you to better interact with the world around you. And if you bike, there s one less car on the road, making it better for everyone. There is nothing more self-sufficient than a bicycle.
