Check out this video by a Beach parent of their Bike Train to school this morning.

In celebration of the Walk + Bike Challenge Month, the Beach PTA organized a "Super Bike Train" that had over 100 riders. There's something zen-like about watching all the young students pedaling past, the train stretching into the distance. It definitely brought a smile to my face. I love the student who calls out, "I don't think there's going to be enough racks!"

Way to go Beach - we'll get you some more bike parking!
