Healthier Kids, Healthier School Environments

You can promote a more active, attentive student body and reduce traffic congestion around your school with one simple move. Install a bike rack.

The percentage of children who walk or bike to school has dropped from 50% to 15% over the last 20 years. Not coincidentally, the rate of childhood obesity has tripled. By providing a safe, secure place to park bikes, you can get kids riding again — teachers, too.

Getting their recommended 60 minutes of daily aerobic activity not only makes kids healthier, it also helps them do better scholastically, some studies show. And reducing the number of kids transported by car cuts down on congestion and pollution around your school.
