香蕉视频直播淢y school has participated in the past, and this was my first year here. It was great to bike with the students and challenge myself to bike to work to a rural school which is a 35 minute drive from home. The benefits of becoming more active and saving a little gas money were great incentives as well,香蕉视频直播� he says.
香蕉视频直播淚 appreciate that there is a BC challenge to participate in as it gives us the sense of being part of something bigger. I was so impressed 12-year-olds biking 38km three days in a row, 13-year-olds biking 60km to and from school four days in a row, and others biking as far or further and still having another bike ride in the evening. There were groups of kids biking together and supporting each other as they improved their fitness and their idea of how they can get around in their community.香蕉视频直播�
