Early Wednesday morning, students and parents, joined the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and city officials for the annual Bike & Roll to School Week at Rosa Parks Elementary.
Students began their journey to Rosa Parks Elementary at Patricia’s Green at Octavia Boulevard and Hayes and began pedaling to the school.

The City’s Director of Transportation Ed Reiskin also joined the students in the bike ride and in an assembly following the bike ride.
