and we know the world can be tough sometimes
with what seems like endless mind numbing news.
So to take a break,
we'd like to tell you about one good thing
happening in the world today on Cheddars news wrap.
Today's good thing is spotlighting one effort fighting climate change,
encouraging kids to exercise, bringing communities together
and making Children happier. Have you ever heard of bike busses,
Parents and kids around the country have chosen to ditch the school bus and
those hectic morning drop offs to take part in group bike rides to school.
I wish I had this advocate as a kid, each bike bus runs differently,
this one in Minneapolis as you're watching meets
at eight a.m. To play soccer or football,
eat some doughnuts.
Then the parents review safety measures before starting their ride.
The group makes about eight stops along the way to pick up both parents and Children.
Some families join the ride without kids of their own
so they can just enjoy the community ride over.
In san Francisco,
the S f bike bus organize the citywide school routes to
inspire people around the country to start their own bike busses,
it's truly a commute with the community.
Their first three mile ride included, more than 100 kids,
families and adults and one trip to school,
one of the parents even brings a speaker to
blast music for everyone to jam to while they ride
the founders of Sf bike bus wants to create
a bike bus for every school in san Francisco,
These fun and engaging rides,
make Children enthusiastic about getting up and going to school for once and for the
kids that don't like to or don't know how to ride a bike that's okay.
They arrive on a two person bike with their parent
pedaling for them and teaching them safety riding rules as they go.
A researcher of education policy explained while these bike busses aren't
just good for the environment but also for the kids wellness,
she said quote the kids aren't rushed out the door anymore
and they're happy when they arrive at school with this movement.
The kids are engaging in something clean, fun,
physical and learning in the process with the rest of their friends and family.
