I came across a story this morning on WorldChanging.com which hilights the emerging practice of elementary schools criticizing and even intimidating families of children who bike and walk to school. The impetus for this unfortunate behavior is fear of litigation against school districts stemming from children being abducted while traveling to school. There are a number of links in the article which profiles cities around the country in which this is happening (most alarming is a child who was met by school officials and a state trooper when he showed up to school with his bike after being asked not to.) I think this is an issue that definitely deserves attention...

Keep biking, kiddos.
