Before most of Durham is up, tree-lined Oval Drive Park is serene, save for a slight morning breeze.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is, until about 30 kids and their parents begin to arrive on bikes and scooters. Not long after, a school bus pulls in next to the park, letting out more children.<\/span><\/p>\n

The kids are students at nearby E.K. Powe Elementary School who are participating in Walk and Roll to School Day. It\u2019s part of a week-long celebration promoting sustainable commuting and taking place in over a third of public elementary schools across Durham.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event includes two groups of kids \u2013 one walking and one biking \u2013 both of which begin at the park and end at the school.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bike riders begin arriving at 7:10 a.m., before sunrise. When the school bus pulls up at Oval Drive Park to drop off the walkers, the temperature is in the forties. Some kids file off the school bus wrapped in throw blankets, or in puffer jackets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, energy is high.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"bikeAs the children file off the bus, they are greeted by Sparky, the Durham Fire Department\u2019s canine mascot. Sparky, waiting in the park\u2019s tennis courts, is swarmed by kids who descend on him. The bikers — their classmates — are mostly unfazed. They peacefully wait for the bike train to begin, most with feet planted on the ground to stay balanced.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a few chaotic minutes, principal Michael Mattia and E.K. Powe teachers successfully wrangle dozens of children off the bus and into a single file line. They\u2019ll walk the rest of the way to school together, a distance of about .7 miles. Mattia says many have never walked to school before.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a really cool experience, for them to say, \u2018Oh, my legs hurt! I\u2019m not used to walking like this,\u2019\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Curtis Walker, a physical education teacher at E.K. Powe, explains the rules. \u201cYou\u2019re gonna stay together. You wanna follow directions from the adults that are leading us on the trip.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s have no crashes,\u201d a parent chimes in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, the groups are off.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"EKThe walkers and bikers take two different, intersecting routes. The bikers\u2019 route is around a mile long, winding through the quiet, hilly streets of Watts-Hillandale before ending in Old West Durham.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just did 10 billion switchbacks!\u201d one child yells to his dad, after conquering a particularly steep hill. Some kids on scooters are defeated by the hills, needing to get off and walk. Nonetheless, at each stop sign, the group becomes whole again.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCheck both sides!\u201d Jacopo Montobbio, education program manager at Bike Durham, asks two kids at the front.<\/span><\/p>\n

When they give the all-clear, the group accelerates.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlright, we\u2019re off,\u201d says Montobbio.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In front of another stop sign, he asks the kids if any have bells. A long-lasting symphony of chimes and dings greets neighbors along West Knox Street.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later, at the intersection of West Knox and Virgie streets in the Old West Durham neighborhood, a horde of elementary schoolers on bikes and scooters meets the group\u00a0 on foot. Both erupt in shrieks and laughter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, after about a mile of biking, the kids arrive at school. But the excitement doesn\u2019t end once the kids begin their school day.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, Mattia deliberately schedules the event on a Friday to account for the students\u2019 higher energy levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"bikes\u201cThey\u2019ll talk about how much fun they had, and why they\u2019re excited,\u201d he says. \u201cThis way, they have the weekend to settle down, and then we\u2019re right back to learning and regular school on Monday.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Yaseen Abdul-Malik, an E.K. Powe fourth-grade teacher who leads a group of walking students this morning, agrees.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe ride the high for the rest of the day. We\u2019re gonna walk to school, we\u2019re gonna then share some of the things we saw with some of the other kids that did not go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Abdul-Malik, who goes by \u201cMr. Y,\u201d thinks events like this also de-stigmatize different methods of getting to school.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRiding the bus, when I was growing up, was a faux pas, like, \u2018Yo daddy ain\u2019t got no car,\u2019\u201d says Abdul-Malik, who grew up attending Durham Public Schools in the early \u201890s.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve come a long way in terms of the narratives that we\u2019re teaching our kids, and the communities that we\u2019re building.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bike education and bike rides to school take place year-round at E.K. Powe, even when there isn\u2019t a scheduled school-wide event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Walker, the Powe physical education teacher, is also certified by Bike Durham to teach his students how to bike safely during the school year. He says events like this help his students become more confident cyclists. \u201cAs my students become fifth-graders, there are a lot more of them that are independent riders,\u201d Walker says.<\/span><\/p>\n

David Bradway, an E.K. Powe parent and researcher at Duke\u2019s Biomedical Engineering Department, helps organize weekly bike rides from Oval Drive Park to school. Rain or shine, he takes his daughter to school on his bike, and encourages other families to join him.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m usually on two wheels,\u201d he says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
