For Bike to Work and School Week (May 27-June 2), we are featuring a number of community members who are champions for cycling, whether it be to work, school, or commuting around town.
Today we'll meet Mattie Ludvigson, a grade 7 student at Mackenzie Secondary School.
Why do you bike to school?
I used to walk because I lived so close to the elementary school. Now that I go to the high school, I bike because it's a bit further away, and biking takes less time. Plus, I know some short cuts!!
What do you like most about biking?
I like that I can meet up with friends and bike with them!
What do you think your community needs in order to make it easier for more people to bike to work or school?
Something to encourage them more (both adults and kids)... maybe a reward of some type given out randomly?!
Any bike tips you’d like to share?
The best place to ride your bike is when you are out camping... you must ALWAYS remember to pack your bike... then go make your own trails!
Thanks, Mattie, for sharing your reasons and motivation for riding your bike!
What kind of incentives do you think would work to get more people riding in your community? We’d love to hear from you!
