National Bike & Roll to School Day (BR2SD) highlights community, safety, and health. It provides an opportunity for schools to build off the energy of National Bike Month, held each May, and the popularity of International Walk to School Day.

BR2SD is celebrated each year in May. The next BR2SD will take place May 7, 2025.

For tips to make your next walk/bike activities safe and enjoyable, MDOT offers the following pedestrian/bicyclist safety tips:

• Plan your route.
• Always wear a helmet when riding a bike.
• Stay visible. Wear light and bright-colored clothing.
• Stay alert. Enjoy time away from the phone.
• Children can ride their bicycle on the sidewalk. If riding in the street; please ride with traffic, obey all traffic laws, and use proper hand signals.
• When possible, cross at a crosswalk. Only cross when safe to do so. Make eye contact with the drivers and make sure all cars have stopped before crossing.

It’s never too early to plan your next BR2SD. “How to Plan a B2SD Event” offers guidance to help you plan your next event and offers tips about how to best engage your community.
