Students in Indiana will be celebrating Biking and Walking Month with Bike to School Day today.
The ride is included in a series of events aimed at promoting safe and active transportation.
It all begins with registration starting at 7:30 a.m. at George P. Miller Stadium on the IUP campus, followed by a guided ride to Eisenhower Elementary School. Local law enforcement and emergency services will help escort riders, and organizers say breakfast snacks and free bike safety checks will be available.
In an interview on Indiana in the Morning on WCCS, Josh Krug with the Indiana County Office of Planning and Development said that this event not only give them a chance to talk about bike safety with the children, but with parents and guardians also.
Families are reminded to make sure children have properly fitted helmets and bikes.
More events are planned throughout the month, including a Bike, Walk, or Bus to Work Day on May 15 and a safety workshop on May 21 focused on sharing the road responsibly.
