Several readers have shared an extremely inspiring video from Orlando that everyone should watch and share. It chronicles a student-run bike-to-school effort at Colonial High School in Central Florida that you just have to see to believe.

A few of the students have starting a cycling club and they meet in the morning to ride to school. What stood out to me in this video is how inclusive the group is. I was also impressed at how they are not discouraged by a lack of bikeways. They ride in two columns, taking up the entire lane when necessary. The students also show a lot of initiative by taking this on themselves. Watch the video below…

If these kids can make it happen; anyone, anywhere can make it happen.
