Recapture the magic

Remember the fun???  Before we turned 16, we all rode bikes.  We rode bikes everywhere because it was the easiest, fastest and fun way to get around.  Cycling in rain, cycling with friends, cycling at night, cycling to school, cycling with two or three on a bike and even cycling to church.  And it felt great!!

What happened? Why did we let the magic get away?

You've got to view this inspirational 3 minute video from Colonial High School in Orlando, Florida.  Inclusive, not discouraged by the lack of bike lanes, the students took the initiative & started their own cycling club riding to school.   They brought back the cool into cycling - even the kid riding his MOM's old bike!

Its worthwhile watching, you'll feel great, filled with hope for the future.    They did it on their own.  All they needed were helmets! 
Doesn't your [kid's] school need its own cycling club??
