Feel the Buzz of Bike Trains and Get Rollin’!

A bike train is a great way to encourage biking to and from school that can involve multiple students from many neighborhood families.  COAST’s Safe Routes to School program encouraged schools to set up bike trains for Bike (and Walk) to School Day.  Several schools ran with the idea and have set up bike trains to school on a regular basis.  Our partner friends at SBBIKE captured those bike trains on video.  Click below to watch, learn more and be inspired!

A Happy Class Gives COAST Thanks!

Students from Finley Balma’s 4th grade class at Isla Vista School in Goleta had such a fun time at their bike rodeo that they took the time to create and send us these wonderful hand-crafted thank you cards.  We enjoyed their thoughtful, creative (and detailed) artwork!
