When it comes to transportation, it seems that a person has many options for getting from A to B – especially to Goddard High School. Students can walk, ride a bike, scooter, or motorcycle, or even drive a car. Then, there is the question of which type of car or motorcycle or bike to ride.
"Many teens don’t want to ride a bike or walk," Ms. Ramsay said. "They see it as an ‘image issue’, and many are also very excited about learning to drive a car, too."
But is this mode of embarrassment really justified when compared to the numerous advantages of most alternative and eco-friendly transportation?
"Biking is the most efficient exercise," Ramsay said, "there is also less where and tear on the roads if people biked, as well as less pollution."
Some may still argue that GHS isn’t that "Bike Friendly," but in reality, that’s actually not the case.
"There are blue bike racks located near the entry doors on the side of the school near the OWLS area," Ramsay said.
Though bikes and other modes of eco-friendly transportation do come with such advantages, there still are a few disadvantages.
Ramsay also said that some riders may not want to use such transportation during the dead of winter. But during more comfortable seasons, it still is quite easy for someone to ride a bike and never have to pay for gas while the grass is still green.
The old retro-style mode of transportation is still out there, guys, and with the ever-increasing gas prices, it seems more and more tempting to go back to those old days – even in high school.
