BIKE: walk bike to school article

[Thorne]

Salon.com has an interesting article on walking/biking to school which
includes such information as this following and the LAB's "safe routes to
schools" efforts: 

>>Fifty percent of the children hit by cars near schools are hit by
vehicles driven by parents of other students, according to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Researchers for the Marin County
program found that up to 30 percent of morning traffic is caused by
parents driving their children to school. (These figures have since been
validated in other parts of the country.)<<
