Almost one-quarter of Edmonds school's students join Bike to School Day

A slow, steady wave of children on black, blue, green, pink, teal and white bicycles made a cautious start Wednesday morning from the residential intersection at 8th Place S. and 15th Street SW in Edmonds.

The goal was safety, not speed, for the cluster of Sherwood Elementary School students who joined in the national Bike to School Day ride organized by the city, Edmonds Bicycle Advisory Group and the school.

With relatively short notice, at least 120 students and 40 parents pedaled from two meeting points north and south of the school.

“It’s about getting them healthy and out here,” said physical education teacher Pamela Thain, who helped organize the event.
