Coinciding with the bike month fun announced for this week, Bike to School Day is back for a second week and will be conducted in the city of Buffalo this Wednesday morning May 11.
As a friendly reminder to those in the traffic advisory route, very young children and their parents will be out in force, learning all about the joy of riding their bikes to school. Let’s celebrate this push for sustainability, connectivity, and community-building through cycling at all ages. Drivers should slow down, put their phones down, be courteous and let’s all get where we’re going safely and happily. We can do it, City of Good Neighbors!
Whereas all children are encouraged to ride across the region, GObike will be working specifically with the children of two schools in the city. Here are the slow zones to be especially aware of:
