FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Third Bike to School Day May 7

Wednesday, May 7 will mark the third annual "Bike to School Day." The national event
is being coordinated by the National Center for Safe Routes to School, and is an
 extension of the successful International Walk to School Day held each October.

There are nearly 60 different events planned throughout the state [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dEqQ_x5CM7UOzOxQKLhiOygUtQvYMU_huvK6psNmuXOzy9WfzDAPIx1J9NMjEDmvec_Xg2KN9NHQAxDw4Te3fs3wZV5mauW28TJZY0aumEaPA3jEp5gsh_iWLTfu8S0LAy7zb8da50uoqm24gwXRmY5xemJGXpd0WQY5-IzyRILuFlPq8kuyZ6Bbkk3-KzkMGd7G1B7SwFADgGIojmUVhcD_0yA17Gsq&c=XkeUX4caXaWRPNfwQgSCJIa6pS-X0bNmyydWHp0OWwDLLHm1XwbycQ==&ch=9hlNRc1ZFSo9aoEif2vAcP9IIbHCHiwMpsdTMik4Om3qXffUiekImw==]
for "Bike to School Day," and increase from nearly 50 events in 2013. The event 
is to promote the benefits of bicycling to school. In 2001, only 16 percent of kids
biked or walked to school as opposed to 42 percent in 1969, according to statistics
from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Biking to school provides physical activity to help maintain good health and a healthy
weight. "Biking is one part of many solutions," commented Ed Barsotti, executive
 director of the League of Illinois Bicyclists.Numerous studies have also shown 
that physical activity can help children perform better academically in school as
well as have less behavioral issues. An increase in biking to school, as well as
 walking to school, also decreases motorized traffic congestion in the community.

Although bicycling is a safe activity, all bicyclists should wear helmets and should
make sure that they are wearing their helmets correctly. The League of Illinois 
Bicyclists has produced an online bike safety curriculum, with modules for children
bicyclists, adult cyclists and motorists. LIB encourages students and parents to
 visit www.bikesafetyquiz.com [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dEqQ_x5CM7UOzOxQKLhiOygUtQvYMU_huvK6psNmuXOzy9WfzDAPIx1J9NMjEDmvx7NUIXge3SMdI1NLGZmen_f_JpHcJMvJ5moQwVXloQ9p3icbUD3_Vy2T-zW2EypQ4GZnQZsvD_4kQXrcZARCxvbILpuJNndsZEPCGXbjrE8ij7TjQpz9Lg==&c=XkeUX4caXaWRPNfwQgSCJIa6pS-X0bNmyydWHp0OWwDLLHm1XwbycQ==&ch=9hlNRc1ZFSo9aoEif2vAcP9IIbHCHiwMpsdTMik4Om3qXffUiekImw==]
to learn about safety skills and relevant state laws for bicyclists and motorists.
