Live too Far Away?

If you think you live too far away for your child to ride to school, try mapping a route on the Chico Bike Map. Often a bike route is safer and quicker than the driving pattern. Take a trial run on the week end and check your mileage. If you really do live more than 3-5 miles away and your family is not ready to tackle high mileage, then pick a meeting spot (possibly a friend's house) closer to the school where your kids and their friends can ride together. Consider riding with your kids or take turns with other parents. Remember to set a good example by wearing your helmet!
