Glorious spring weather prompted an epic number of students and parents to take part in Massachusetts Walk and Bike to School Day in Bedford on Wednesday, May 2.
Organized by Carla Olson and the Healthy Bedford Initiative, the ride was supported the Bedford Police, the Department of Public Works, Bedford’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) volunteers, and Town officials, along with parents, grandparents, and caregivers.
Roughly 40 cyclists, parents, and pets rode from Depot Park to Lane School on the chaperoned ‘Bike Train’ ride. A count of bikes at Lane shortly after school began indicated that as many independent riders as chaperoned riders rode to school on Wednesday.
