How the hell do you get in trouble for biking to school?
Apparently because "IT'S NOT SAAAAAFEEEEE!!"
I would imagine most of the students were wearing helmets, but that's at best conjecture :/ Either way, the safety steps they DID take are impressive.
Never mind that the other options are:
1. Walking. Which has an equal risk of some jackass driver splattering you across the pavement.
2. Driving (or your parents driving you). Which is bad for the environment, and if you're gonna get killed walking in plain sight during the daytime, then you're equally likely to get in a wreck in a car. Duh.
3. Carpooling. Which is somewhat better for the environment, but has an equal risk of drunk drivers.
4. The bus. Which is larger and safer than cars, but you're basically trapped in the same vehicle as all the worst bullies in school for at least an hour per day. Also, there's no telling what kind of person is driving the bus. Sure, the driver had a background check--WHEN HE WAS HIRED.
I can think of dozens of ways to be laughably paranoid over child transportation, so why are the paranoid people always sticking to how dangerous bikes are? Bikes are awesome and I need to get one.
