BIKE-TO-SCHOOL DAY 2019: Alki Elementary’s riders

| Transportation | West Seattle news | West Seattle schools

For Bike-to-School Day, we caught up with one of two “bike trains” to Alki Elementary this morning – this one from Anchor (Luna) Park along Alki Avenue.

Lots of company for the students. Chris Nutter is Alki ES’s Bike-to-School Day coordinator. Don Brubeck from West Seattle Bike Connections joined the group. And he sent this pic of Al Jackson, longtime school-bus driver, on two wheels this morning:

Al led the bike train from Me-Kwa-Mooks. Raffles and other celebratory activities awaited the riders at school:

At least two other local schools – Louisa Boren STEM K-8 and Genesee Hill Elementary – planned Bike-to-School activities too.

P.S. May 17th is Bike Everywhere Day (formerly Bike-to-Work Day).

Actually, AL ‘caboosed’ the bike train from Me-Kwa-Mooks park, the kids were too fast for me to be anywhere near the front!!All those wonderful years bike-commuting to & from work so I could drive “my little darlings” to & from school, and FINALLY, today, for the first time I was able to share my passion for cycling with the kids!!What a great time we all had!!

Good for them. You should see all the bikes at Lafayette over the past couple weeks as well! Hope drivers know to be extra cautious around these little riders.
