School is officially back in session in Sunnyvale! With more kids, parents, and buses on the move, please remember to double-check your surroundings and slow down.

- Watch your speed: Keep it at 15 mph or slower in marked school zones!
- Stay sharp: Look out for students walking, biking, and using crosswalks.
- Ditch the distractions: Put down the phone—a split second makes all the difference.

Let’s keep our community safe and give our students a great start to the school year! 🎒🚲🚌

We got several hundred punctured bike tubes from Live in Peace Bike Shop, Bicycle Outfitter, Sports Basement,and Walt's Cycle. 15 volunteers became expert tube patchers and fixed about 100 of them. We packed up what could not be fixed or what we did not have time to fix to send to Schwalbe's tube recycling program (they pay for shipping) -- see https://www.schwalbe.com/en/schwalbe-recycling/

Special thanks to Walt's Cycle for being the local Schwalbe dealer that ships the tubes back to them and to Sports Basement for providing space to hold our tube patching event.

The fixed tubes are given away to those in need, used at the Bike Sunnyvale monthly repair clinic at the Sunnyvale Public Library, or donated to Live in Peace Bike Shop.

Hope you can join us in the future (see BikeSunnyvale.org)! It's fun (think sewing bee for bike tubes).

This is a recent free film well worth watching to understand how walking and biking can make our cities much safer, friendlier, and more livable -- freeing up public space so more people, especially children, can grow up and be healthy. Yes Sunnyvale can do this too and we have far better weather than these other leading cities!

Liebe Leute, wenn euch der Film gefallen hat, freue ich mich über jeden noch so kleinen Betrag, per Paypal oder Überweisung um den Film ein wenig zu refinanz...
