A lot of kids ride their bicycles to school. My children do, as we live only a few blocks from the building. The bus will not stop to pick my chilodren up, as it does not provide transportation for children who live less than a mile from the school. My husband and I both work, and we have to leave before the children do. Therefore, we cannot give them a ride to school. Rather than walk, they prefer to ride their bicycles. A lot of children do, and the school recognized this. They constructed a special area for bikes to be parked during school hourse. The kids had to provide their own bike locks though. I bought my kids each a bicycle lock, and they use them faithfully. I spent a lot of money on their bikes. They know I would be upset if they were to disappear. The kids ride their bikes on a regular basis, aside from using them for transportation to and from school. They too would be upset if the bikes would go missing. Yesterday, more than fifty bicycles were stolen from the school. It happened during school hours, so the bicycles were stolen in broad daylight! I cannot believe this happened, and that no one saw the robbery in progress.
