St. Anselm Family Hooked on Biking
| |
|
Dawniele Richardson Pasha, a Larkspur mother of sons Jack, seven, and Owen, five, has set a goal of bicycling her children to St. Anselm School at least once a week. That has now turned into three times a week. Dawniele says the 50-minute ride to school is great exercise for her family and worth getting up early, because they arrive at school feeling refreshed and relaxed. "I like that cycling gets the 'wiggles' out of my boys before school starts. They calm down before arriving and seem to better focus after biking to school." read more

Biking in Foul Weather
| |
|
As the season grows colder and wetter; it doesn't necessarily need to be less active. We're blessed with California weather which means there will still be sunny days, and even though the temperature is a little nippy, that doesn't mean the kids have to stay indoors.
Here are a few tips for cold days:
- Wear full-fingered gloves
- Hats, hoods, headbands to cover the neck and ears (under the helmet too)
- Dress in layers; you warm up quickly when riding.
- Wear a wind-proof jacket
For rainy days:
- Wear bright colors
- Walk with school logo umbrellas
- Make sure your child has waterproof rain gear
