MBE students take part in bike safety program

Children’s of Alabama and Safe Routes to School sponsored a bike rodeo at Mountain Brook Elementary to promote bike safety among students. 

Safe Routes to School is a movement to create fun and safe opportunities for children to bike to school. Students from each grade rode their bike through several stations and courses learning about hand signals and roadway safety along the way. 

MBE parent and Children’s of Alabama representative Julie Farmer helped coordinate the event. 

“We want the kids to have fun while learning important bike skills,” she said. “Many kids did not know it is a law in Alabama to wear a helmet if they are less than 16.”
