Good morning, How cool is this?! 95% rate of bicycling in schools?!! The article describes how they make bike skills part of the educational system. The best news is that if we do what they did, we'll get what they've got. Better health, healthier weights, more livable places.

The article describes how delegates from the San Francisco visited the Netherlands to see all this first hand. Last year three delegates from WV (one from Morgantown) saw the info presented at the League's Bike Summit. So can anyone else.

Have to ask... sorry...
Do they teach riding recumbent over there? Do you see many recumbents commuting over there? I remember being in China in '93 and I can say that amoungst the bijillion bikes I did not see one.
Wonder why?
