Happy Bike to School Day!

It's the most joyful school drop off of the year! Seattle kids are celebrating Bike to School Day today, and the bike cage at my kid's school was packed even more than usual.

Biking to school for us requires two blocks of climbing that is steep enough to give the kiddo trouble. Or at least, they used to. My kid was cruising uphill barely out of breath and said, I remember I had to walk up this hill, but now I'm really strong and I can go fast!" She then wondered if maybe she is the strongest kid in the whole world.

Once at school, one parent said she and her kids all went out yesterday and bought bikes so they could participate, which was amazing to hear. The kids were so proud that they had biked to school and got to put their I biked to school" sticker on their shirts.
