Celebrating bicycling at Edmonds' Sherwood Elementary School. (Photos courtesy Cascade Bicycle Club) It's back-to-school season, and for kids in the Edmonds School District — home to Washington state's second-largest public school bicycling education program — that means it's time to ride bikes. About 5,000 elementary and middle school students will participate in the Let's Go Edmonds bicycling curriculum during the 2022-23 school year. Only Seattle, which has upwards of 20,000 school kids participating in its Let's Go curriculum, has a larger school-based bike education program.
