Traverse City’s Most Bike-tastic School is…
GREENSPIRE!
On a less than awesome weather day with rain rain rain, the students, staff and teachers at Greenspire pedaled to school for Bike To School Day in a big way. The Greenspire School is the 2016 Most Bike-tastic Traverse City School. This is a big, big deal.
The award goes to the school with the highest Bike-tastic-ness # on Traverse City Bikes To School Day.
# of pedaling students and staff ÷

Congratulations, Greenspire!
