Biking to the Middle School?

I spoke recently with a Middle School student who told me some of his friends used to ride their bikes to school, but eventually gave up because "they make it too hard." Does anyone reading this have kids who bike to the Middle School now? Or kids who used to? Or kids who would like to, but don't?

The Chagrin Falls Safe Routes to School team is just beginning to explore how we might make biking to the Middle School easier and safer. One idea we're considering would involve creating a bike path -- perhaps along the Rec. Center edge of the Middle School/High School campus. Of course, the Rec Center would be intimately involved in any such projects. At this point, we're in the brainstorming stage, and wondering what you think.
