What if we could eliminate childhood obesity, depression, and anxiety by changing Transportation
Introducing: Bike School Bus
What if we could incorporate physical activity into our everyday routines?
What if we didn’t have to use cars?
What if kids could safely move around a city independently?
We dream of a City like this and we are making Manchester that Place.
The “Bike School" Bus” was a pilot program that started on March 21, 2022 by a group of parents that couldn’t wait any longer for “safe infrastructure”. Led by board member Garrett Mclarty, utilizing his skills and training in outdoor survival, we removed countless obstacles for kids to safely get across Manchester on their bikes. Not easy, but sure worth it!!
This pilot has been widely successful at getting over 20 Manchester kids pedaling to school 5-days per week, rain or shine. Each kid averages 40-miles per week on the bike and we are witnessing widespread JOY. Plans are underway for the 2022/2023 school year.
