Instead of boarding a yellow school bus or climbing into a family car, kids pedal to class together with an adult leader. The bike bus offers physical activity and a chance to build community while also reducing the carbon footprint of their morning commute. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">McLaughlin also helped organize the school&#8217;s first ever Bike Rodeo at this year\u2019s Brownell Fall Festival. Through a biking obstacle course, students got to practice their riding skills and learned safety behaviors. SRTS also helped ensure all participants rode safely by providing free bike helmets and helmet fittings.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8f2e9c1\" data-id=\"8f2e9c1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c1273b elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"6c1273b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Image Carousel\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 2\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home.lps.org\/sustainability\/files\/2026\/05\/IMG_0200-e1779131306280.jpg?fit=1024%2C851&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Children and adults gather for the Brownell Bike Rodeo with bicycles, playing and socializing near a colorful playground on a clear day, conveying a lively community atmosphere.\" \/><figcaption class=\"elementor-image-carousel-caption\">Students biking around the \"bike obstacle course\" at the Brownell Bike Rodeo.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"2 of 2\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/home.lps.org\/sustainability\/files\/2026\/05\/IMG_0212-e1779131824882.jpg?fit=1024%2C851&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"A group of adults and children in helmets stand with bicycles on green grass, smiling under a sunny sky.
