WomenBikeOn_Fall2007

El 3 de noviembre de 2007, el primer grupo de 15 ciclistas, se graduó de la clase de Mujeres en Bicicleta, en el colegio Andersen Elementary.

Adelante en Bicicleta (Bike On), Midtown Greenway Coalition y Community Education felicitan a las mujeres que participaron en el programa por su esfuerzo.

Mujeres en Bicicleta es un programa multilingue que da la oportunidad a mujeres para aprender a montar en bicicleta en el Midtown Greenway, tener diferentes opciones de transporte, fortalecer lazos comunitarios y aprender sobre conservación de energía.

Hemos recibido por parte de la ciudad de Minneapolis la beca de Minneapolis Mobilizing Citizens for Grassroots Climate Change Micro Grant por mil dólares.

¡Muy pronto en español!

Bike On is proud to announce the launch of the Minnesota State Bike-to-School League, promoting fun and cycling through three bike-to-school competitions each school year.

In late October, league officials counted bikes parked outside the high schools. The fall 2007 champion in the Total Bikes Category is Minneapolis South with 79 bikes. Second and third place went to Southwest (68 bikes) and Richfield (58 bikes).

Richfield is champion in the Ridership League, with 4.76% of students biking to school, followed closely by South (4.70%) and Southwest (4.68%). The Ridership League calculates a school’s total bikes as a percentage of its student population.

The MN State Bike-to-School League currently includes the 31 public and private high schools with 350 or more students located within an 8-mile radius of the downtown Minneapolis Central Library. The top ten schools in both leagues will advance to the winter and spring competitions.
