When we launched the #SafeRoutestoSchool program in 2012, the idea of teaching 50k kids to ride a bike and walk safely to and from school seemed out of reach. It’s community support - YOUR support - that has gotten us to this milestone. THANK YOU! https://t.co/lQrd9PON9a

"This morning while waiting for my bus I walked across a piece of pavement at the bus stop like it was a balance beam and sang along to my playlist. A lady on the bench smiled at me. 🧵 #WeekWithoutDriving
