"1983. This is science fiction not powered by a vision of the future but a longing for the past."

Both the Bike Bus and the #80sWalkRollClub in Hood River were inspired by that longing for independence, adventure and community through biking.

1st walk and roll club of the Fall and we had the most beautiful afternoon weather for it.

For this season's club, we have 4 schools and 4 grades represented. This is such a great group of kids!

"I love that she enjoys a snack with friends. We've been having some challenges around food, so this is more helpful that you probably know. It's so special for her to have a space that is with peers and low key; we are so grateful for your vision and execution of this"

How many steps are in the Hood River Stairs?

419, the second longest public staircase in America. The club was tasked with counting the steps but no one got the right number.

But we have 3 more months of walking to get it right.

WELL DONE, AIMEE!

So unbelievably proud of these kids for how much their mental fortitude has grown and how they support each other.

"is this the biker gang I've heard about" chuckling as this nice stranger entered the grocery story.

We were 18 strong today and I have 22 registers for the #80sWalkRollClub. This Friday will be bike party style.

Will bike for blueberries 🫐

A tour of the newly installed path, modelled by the #80sWalkRollClub.

3 teams for blueberry picking. Most blueberries got to pick whatever they wanted at Dairy Queen.

Stranger Things ride this Saturday at 4pm!

Since the show inspired the #80sWalkRollClub formation, I am taking the kids on their first @pedalpalooza ride.

What should be on my playlist?

Who has read Anxious Generation by @JonHaidt?

My school district comms director told me he recommends #SchoolStreets!

Seems like #BikeBus, #80sWalkRollClub and anything to get kids outdoors and active helps relieve child stress.

Water play and ice cream 🍨 for bike club fun today!

Q: If I could change something about where I live it would be...

A: No more cars, only bikes.

Mom sent me this with, "#80sWalkRollClub has made a big impact on her"

When kids feel the joy of riding their bikes for transportation, they pinpoint the problem and solution.

May was full of highs with 100s of joyful Safe Routes to School stories...also 2 overshadowing lows.

I was harrassed by a friend of friend driving: "Get your kids off the road!" with the #80sWalkRollClub.

Homemade authentic biryani rice, a gift from 1 of my bike club parents and just another reason why it's important to encourage representation in your youth programs.

Nacho Wednesday hill climb challenge.

1 of the bike club members climbed all 4 segments of the hill without putting a foot down. That success was a year in the making.

I challenged the bike club to ride the Old Columbia Hwy switchbacks and (optional) race me up a steep grade Highline Road. 1 of them beat me 😀

WHEE-ing down the switchbacks and🍦 waffle cones paid off.

Their stamina grows and they become tighter every week.

1st time Pad Thai tasters in the house.

The kids were weary of the rain and they voted to walk and the afternoon sun came out.
