Thanks to all who joined us in celebrating Bike & Roll to School Day 2024. Because of your commitment to safe walking, biking, and rolling, over 2,500 registered events in 43 states were celebrated in May. Way to go!
Send us your Bike and Roll to School Day photos! We love to show off all the great community participation for this special event, so please email your 2024 Bike and Roll to School Day images to in...@walkbiketoschool.org. By emailing us your photos, you agree that we can use the photos to promote future events, to include in reports, and for other positive uses promoting safe, active routes for youth. We would especially appreciate photos of children and adults biking and rolling wearing helmets. Please let us know the city and state of the event in your photos.
Check out our Trends, Issues and Evidence and Walk, Bike & Roll to School Day Talking Points documents for information on benefits of active travel to school and how regular walking, biking, and rolling to school can make a difference.
Walk audits and tools for gathering information about the built environment can help support active travel, describe the experience for all road users, and provide a way for communities and decision makers to work together to identify solutions to improve safety. Head to our Walk Audits and Tools page to find resources that could be incorporated into an event or used throughout the year to support safe active travel.
As communities continue adjusting to the impacts of the pandemic, schools are welcoming students back to campus. Resources from the Committee on Safe & Healthy Journeys to School During the COVID-19 Pandemic & Beyond help support safe travel for students for in-person school. The Getting Back to School Together webpages include key strategies for school travel, school travel guidance, & 12 school & community strategies implemented during the pandemic that might work anywhere.
E-bikes are growing in popularity as an option for older students to ride to school. Bike & Roll to School Day organizers at middle and high schools may be seeing more and more e-bikes during events or throughout the year. See our list of resources to learn more about safety recommendations for e-bike riders.
Walk, Bike & Roll to School Day events can be simple or elaborate. A school might start by hosting a big event, and then hold low-key events over time. Another place might start simple and then build efforts in subsequent years. Learn more about planning the event.

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder that causes red blood cells to become hard and sticky. SCD is known for causing severe pain and many life-threatening complications across the lifespan; requiring ongoing medical treatment and for some, frequent hospitalizations. Those living with SCD, often called "Sickle Cell Warriors", are not defined by the pain and complications of this disease,, but by their incredible strength and resiliency.
Melanin in Motion/Slow Roll MPLS aims to challenge negative perceptions of our beautiful city and foster community engagement through fun, safe, and inclusive bike rides for people of all ages and skill levels; the average speed is 8 mph.
Your donation is greatly appreciated and helps the Sickle Cell Foundation of Minnesota fulfill its mission through providing education, advocacy, community events, and other needed resources that help to improve the quality of life for individuals and communities impacted by Sickle Cell Disease.
Since the start of the pandemic in early 2020, annually' we have provided nearly 5x the dollars in time and monetary support to individuals and caregivers in the SCD community. Like many small businesses and non-profits, this has dramatically increased our need to generate mission-fulfilling revenue in 2023 and beyond.
Lancaster city, meanwhile, is introducing a free First Friday Trolley. It will pick up and drop off riders in a loop around downtown between 5 and 8 p.m. Beginning in June, the loop will be extended to include A Concrete Rose Bookbar, 910 S. Duke St.

Our stock roll tickets and raffle tickets ship within 1-2 business days. For ordering multiple types and colors of roll tickets be sure to use our convenient Roll Ticket Purchase Page. You can also get quantity discounts for multiple rolls.
This skill is intended to apply to saddle horses, donkeys and mules, granting knowledge of basic care of the riding animal, riding gear, and how to handle the steed at a gallop or on difficult terrain. Should a steed unexpectedly rear or stumble, the rider's chance of remaining mounted equals their Ride skill. Riding sidesaddle increases the level of difficulty by one level. An unfamiliar mount (such as a camel) might be ridden successfully, but the level of difficulty would be higher.
If an investigator falls from a mount, either because the animal has collapsed, fallen, or died (or because a pushed Ride roll failed) at least 1D6 hit points are lost in the accident - although a Jump roll can negate this loss.
Pushing examples: whipping or pushing the mount aggressively - perhaps forcing a horse to jump a ravine or high ditch; taking a risk of keeping your mount rather than jumping clear as trouble approaches.
Sample Consequences of failing a Pushed roll: the rider is thrown from mount and takes falling damage; mount is injured; rider's foot is entangled in the mount's bridle and the rider ends up being dragged for some distance.
Join us May 4th, for a Star Wars themed Walk, Ride, or Roll event! Family and friends are invited to walk, ride a tricycle, bicycle, scooter, or use a wheelchair to get some exercise and connect with others in the community. Costumes are optional and encouraged! All Abilities Welcome!
The consequence, of course, is that the players will simply stop trying to be stealthy. And, as a result, an entire set of tactics (and the really cool stuff that can flow from those tactics) vanishes in a puff of smoke.
Where the result of the check is being sequentially compared against a series of variable challenges (like a Stealth check being compared to various sentries and guards), this can be relatively easy. (You get spotted by whichever guard first exceeds your Stealth check.)
Similarly, after the PCs have penetrated the outer defenses of an enemy compound and planted their remote access device on the mainframe, you might have them make another Stealth check to get back out of the complex.
I almost see this as a design thing then a ruling thing, take the stealth play example. As a designer you probably should make up interesting problems of how to get in there. Maybe the first guard post is just a little shack with two guards, and then you go into the main building and its all guard rotations and security cameras you have to deal with, and then you get to the vault which you have to get into. All these things allow you to have different ways of getting in, and crucially different rolls.
I can see this working for mass combat as well. Larger combats tend to take a long time complete and it can be hard to keep up the intensity all the way through the fight. I can see using this as a way of turning it into a narrative battle.
At the beginning of the fight everyone rolls their attacks and damage and then tells the GM the result. The GM does the same thing for the opponents. Then the GM goes around the table and has the players narrate their attacks in order of initiative (or whatever turn order is being used) for a number of rounds equal to the characters Constitution Modifier, at which point they roll again. The GM could also ask for rolls whenever there is a major shift in the flow battle.
