One last bike train photo for the school year—this really bring out the most childlike joy in grownups and is such a dream activity for the kids.

Here’s the @LexingtonPolice in action as we all bike up Mass Ave towards the school.

Happy last day of school bike train @SchoolHastings and thanks as always to our @LexingtonPolice for being so supportive of this magic!

[Town of Lexington, MA @TownOfLexMA]

We're so happy to support the Hastings Bike Train, promoting a healthy & sustainable (and fun!) transit option to school!🚲

[Lexington Transportation Services @LexBikeWalkBus]

It is pretty awesome when your Town Manager (in yellow) and Director of Communications (w/backpack) join in an elementary school bike train! Thank you @smmurtagh & Hastings team! #bikejoy #bikebus @SafeRoutes_MA

[Shannon Murtagh @smmurtagh]

Full bike racks make me jump for joy

[Shannon Murtagh @smmurtagh]

The @SchoolHastings bike train couldn’t happen without amazing support from families and the town. Shout out especially to @TownOfLexMA and the @LexingtonPolice for biking with us today!

[Shannon Murtagh @smmurtagh]

Sunshine for the June @SchoolHastings bike train! It’s always pure magic biking with the students.

[Lexington Transportation Services @LexBikeWalkBus]

If you read this @NYTMetro article and thought...Hey, I want to be part of a #BikeBus in #LexingtonMA...you can! @SchoolHastings has another one tomorrow, and we are seeking people to help launch these and walking school buses in other schools!

1st order of biz today (other than adjust back to CST & get my kid to camp): process the great stuff from last week’s Futures Foundations.

Starting here—>edu systems must move from preparing for the future to shaping it. @stanforddschool @smmurtagh @arielefant @laura_mcbain

[Shannon Murtagh @smmurtagh]

Bike train days are magic, but full bike racks on other days (proof that bike train is switching @SchoolHastings kids’ commute modes) are pretty magical too.

[Shannon Murtagh @smmurtagh]

Nothing better than a @SchoolHastings bike train day! Thanks @LexingtonPolice for escorting us and @LexBikeWalkBus and @TownOfLexMA for your continued enthusiastic support of our bikers.

[Lexington Transportation Services @LexBikeWalkBus]

Are you aware of this new law? Be mindful of vulnerable users on the roadway! @TownOfLexMA @Diginlex @carymemlibrary

[Shannon Murtagh @smmurtagh]

Thank you @LexBikeWalkBus @LexingtonPolice and @TownOfLexMA for your continued support of these young bikers-and Happy National Walk, Bike, and Roll to School Day!

[Shannon Murtagh @smmurtagh]

If you build it, they will bike!

#CambMA has seen a doubling of bike volume in the neighborhood around a recent bike lane upgrade. Let's take a look at what that looks like...🧵

[Lexington Transportation Services @LexBikeWalkBus]

We love that #HastingsBikeTrain participated in the Patriots Day Parade in #LexingtonMA! Yay @SchoolHastings spreading #biketrain joy!

Excellent piece by @MargoRoen on the Houston ISD takeover.

“Creating conditions for success on behalf of students means shifting relationships and power for families, kids, the district & the community”

YES. and the YES AGAIN.
