Remember local citizen activist Kiel Johnson? Back in August he organized a conference to educate parents and school administrators about the concept of bike trains (where folks meet up in the neighborhood and ride into school together).

His efforts got noticed by a Portland-based producer who works with NBC’s new “School Pride” television show. Kiel was flown to Los Angeles to be interviewed for the show and the segment aired on Friday. Check it out below…

Way to go Kiel!
