<p>We live in a very bike and pedestrian unfriendly state. Our kids went to Catholic school, which was too far away to walk. Our zoned public school was less than 1 mile away (elementary, middle and high school), but even if we went that route our kids would not have walked/rode bikes. There are no sidewalks, and no bike lanes. They would have needed to cross a heavily trafficked route with no crossing guards. It just wouldn’t have been safe.</p>
