North Forty News published this beautiful article on Ollie’s Bike Parade today!

We are so grateful for the way that they have shared our work 💙💙💙💙.

Also we remain incredibly grateful for our team, volunteers and community members who remind us what really showing up for each other can look like.

Please share this article who could use a reminder that there is joy and people showing up for one another all around—-

Come ride with us on the 18th, and if you can’t, definitely share this with someone who would love it!

Ollie’s Bike Parade returns October 18 to kick off Fort Collins Open Streets, honoring Oliver Stratton and promoting bicycle safety.

Tomorrow is National Walk & Roll to School Day.

That means tomorrow morning, you may see more kids than usual biking, walking and rolling to school.

Slow down. Put the phone away. Give them space. Give them patience. Expect them to make kid-sized mistakes—and remember that the adult driving the vehicle has the greater responsibility to keep them safe.

But I hope we think beyond just tomorrow.

I want to introduce you to **Vision Zero for Youth**, an initiative built around a beautifully simple idea:

**Children deserve safe places to walk and bike—starting with the trip to school.**

And this year, there is something especially worth celebrating here at home: **Fort Collins received the 2026 Vision Zero for Youth U.S. Leadership Award** for its work making school routes safer and helping more students walk and bike to school.

That matters.

Because children shouldn't need a special event once a year to feel safe riding their bikes through their own communities.

They deserve streets designed with them in mind.
They deserve adults who slow down.
They deserve communities willing to change what isn't working.

And they deserve to leave for school in the morning and **come home safely at the end of the day.**

Tomorrow, please watch for them.

And after tomorrow, let's keep building communities where we don't have to ask quite so hard.
