Helping Kids Start Their Day in a Fun, Active Way!

Children today simply do not get enough exercise. Only 13% of children walk to school today and even less bike  (compared to 66% in 1970). Worse, approximately 10% of children ages 6-10 get the recommended 60 minutes of activity a day.

Walking and biking to school may be the easiest way to reverse these trends. And why not? Kids love walking and riding bikes to school. They have fun and get to hang out with their friends. It’s a great way to start their day. Plus it:

• Builds Confidence
• Creates Safer Communities
• Develops Healthier, more Sustainable Environments
• Helps children arrive energized and ready to start their day in class
• Reduces Traffic and Congestion around Schools
• Teaches life skills: safe habits, good decision making and responsibility

When kids learn how to safely and responsibly walk and bike to school, they also learn life lessons that not only help them be better members of the community, but better stewards of the future.

Walk ‘n Rollers: A new way to encourage kids to walk and bike to school everyday

We focus on two of the five E’s: Education and Encouragement. For starters, we provide the basic tools for walking and biking to school such as instructions and tips for Walking School Buses and Rolling Bike Trains. We also host Walk ‘n Roll Festivals (our version of bike rodeos). Then we build comprehensive and inclusive encouragement campaigns to provide incentive for children to choose active transportation to school as often as they like. It’s easy, and it works. Ask us how

Let us help your school or organization start
Walk’n and Rollin’!

We know it’s hard for everyone to walk or bike to school every day. Safety, distance and convenience play a big role. But it doesn’t mean we can’t all try. At least we should each have the tools and confidence to walk or bike to school whenever we’d like to. Once a month, once a week, every day…
