Never wait in the school car line again. Here’s how. For the first time in decades, a small but critical mass of children are riding their bikes safely to school again in the US.

    I live on a bicycle street (legally means bikes have right of way, but not much more than that), but every morning at 08:00, there are a few, but enough parents that drive their kids to school, that it creates dangerous situations. Some schools here in the city even ban parents from dropping kids off by car, close to schools.

    I don’t have kids, and I haven’t gone to school in…checks calendar…a very long time. WTF do some parents drive kids to school when there are school busses? What am I out of the loop on? We either walked or took the bus when I was a kid. Don’t the parents have shit to do?

    Good. Hopefully this will put an end to idiot parents who illegally park in the bike lanes near schools, putting cyclists and kids at risk, just because they are lazy AF.
