There is something special about a bunch of kids who don’t really know each other all biking to school together. Watching them navigate each other’s movements so every is safe is truly something special. Today’s #BikeBus was that. The children were in flow.

Save The Lives Of Children In One Paragraph. @sfstandard @sfbike
A bill by State Sen. Scott Wiener would require new cars to have tech that would stop them from going more than 10 mph over the speed limit.

Ever run into someone while heading to your friend's? It's the kind of interaction we crave but often miss out on. Bicycles expand on that freedom
The bicycle has done more for the independence of children than anything else in the world.

Imagine that this could be your child, but every day. How much happier would they be?
'Don't blame having a child for the need to buy a car. Blame your city leaders for making it impossible to cycle with children.' ~@LiorSteinberg (video of 7 kids and one adult on their way to a birthday party in #Amsterdam by @BicycleMayor020)

Let's get this age even lower! Children love to ride bicycles and treat it like their wheels of freedom Bring this topic to the #youthbikesummit why not?
“My mission: every child aged 12 should be a competent cyclist.” @BicycleMayor020 @KatelijneBoerma at #urban95festival. #childfriendlycities

Who knew that one bike trip would change our lives? We joined together from different youth councils from different bike shops and just felt so empowered to be the movement around health and freedom that bicycles bring to ourselves and our neighborhoods #YouthLeadership forever!

Bicycles will forever be a better option for children than motor vehicles, this is not the future we want for young people

1/8 children die when hit by an SUV 0/8 children are drivers It's never a child hitting a child. Children also do not get a say in which methods of transportation they would prefer. No child would choose an SUV.

There are plenty of paths! Children and young adults should be a part of reshaping our streets. There is no excuse for not having youth voice in modern urban planning

Whenever we come together, discussions about our community transportation projects and their impact on our peers always stand out. Young people leading is a must! #YouthEmpowerment #bicycle
