BIKE TO SCHOOL RIDE TO BE HELD TODAY

Expect some extra traffic in Indiana this morning as students will bike from the KCAC to Horace Mann Elementary and Indiana Junior High School.

Today marks the first event of the Indiana County Active Transportation Advisory Committee’s Safe Biking and Walking month.  As is tradition, there will be a guided ride for students to get to their school.  Indiana Borough Police, IUP Campus Police, the Indiana County Sheriff’s office and Citizens’ Ambulance will accompany riders.  Breakfast snacks will be provided by IRMC and Indiana Cycling Center will hold bike safety checks.

Children taking part should have their bike and helmet with them.  Parents are welcome to join the ride, and if the bike has training wheels, parents are required to be with them.  Registration and safety checks will start at 7:30 this morning, with comments and the presentation of the BTS Challenge Award, with the ride starting at 8:10 this morning.
