That is absolutely spectacular. Congratulations to all the organizers and thank you Mia for once again showing us all how cool bikes + kids can be!

When can we do Tour de Buckman?!

Scofflaw kids! Enjoying the streets! The PPB was there, handing out $242 fines for all these scofflaw “kydclists” who ran stops signs! It was a fundraiser for the police dept. too!

What a great concept. These kids are the future of biking in this city and the look awesome. Now let’s work on getting these kids to bike/walk to school every day!

Cool! I wondered why all the streets around there were blocked off this morning.

Fabulous! Congratulations to Mia for an outstanding idea and event! What a great way to get kids excited about biking, to make sure helmets are properly fitted, and raise money. Way to go!!

Great job, Abernethy kids, parents and volunteers!! It is so cool that so many kids came out in the rain and were smiling and having fun.
