Bike & Roll to School Day is May 6th!

Bike & Roll to School Day is around the corner! The date this year is Wednesday, May 6th!

What is Bike & Roll to School Day?

Bike & Roll to School Day is a day to celebrate riding a bike, walking, or rolling to school with your school community. It usually takes place on the first Wednesday of the first full week in May, but each school celebrates in a way that works best for them.

Celebrating Bike & Roll to School Day promotes Safe Routes to School and getting outside to bike, walk, and roll together. Biking to School events can lead to year-round healthy, active travel at your school!

Safe Routes to School is a national program that promotes biking, walking, and rolling to school. Safe Routes to School events take many forms across the country. Some schools or groups set up a time to meet at a remote location and walk, ride, and roll to school together. Others greet riders, walkers, and rollers with fanfare as they arrive at school that day. There are many ways to have fun on Bike &Roll to School Day.
