Andy Mitchell aims to ride to school every day Written By: Erik Kaufman | ×
Andy Mitchell, a fourth grader at Gertie Belle Rogers Elementary, has been riding his bike to school as many times as possible in the last school year, having missed only a handful of days due to family trips and illness. It was a tradition he began when he rode to school with his parents and brother for National Bike To School Day, which is being observed May 5 this year. He plans to continue with his goal of riding his bike to school every day of the school year, including the harsh South Dakota winter months. (Erik Kaufman / Republic)
