Self-propelled kids in Calgary, cycling to school, even at -30!

Journalist Tom Babin at the Calgary Herald  just did a fantastic story on some cycle commuting kids in Calgary. One of them, my son, was part of that gang. Like I said in my previous post when I critiqued the Alberta Walkability Project, the built environment plays a minor role in getting people to be more active on a day to day basis. What makes these kids bike instead of taking the warm school bus is that it’s fun to bike!! It’s fun to bike on any day and especially through the snow and ice. It’s also fun to do it with your friends. Simple really. Let’s all get active because it is fun and feels great!

Take a look at the Calgary Herald story here!
