Children battle Bicycle Bans at School

What do you when your child is faced by two overwhelming threats?  On the one hand, we have seen a small number of highly-publicized cases where children were kidnapped on the way to school.  On the other hand, millions of children are obese and in poor health because of inactivity.  Local police departments and school administrators across the country have decided the former far outweighed the latter (no pun intended), and have banned children from riding their bicycles to school.  Now, some parents and children have decided to buck the trend, and have started a movement to put kids back onto bicycles.  And apparently, school administrators are paying attention.
