Lester B. Pearson High School
Lester B. Pearson was one of our first schools and we’re excited to see where the school takes the bike riding this year.
Last year, the Bike Club really took off, with many new riders getting the chance to ride.
If you have questions, ask Mr. Bakos in the PE office.
Wayfinding
Did you know that an average cyclist goes 20 km per hour? That means a 5 km ride, can take about 15 minutes – depending on route, terrain, and waiting for lights at intersections. It’s often shorter than the bus!
Do you fit in this distance range? Check out this school’s 4 km radius on the map to the left to find out!
We’ve provided some examples of routes from neighborhoods around your area. Please remember that safety is YOUR responsibility. Know your route, and only ride when you feel confident.
Infrastructure Report
Brand new infrastructure report for Lester B. Pearson High School!
Youth En Route worked very hard in collaboration with two graduate Urban Planning students, Nada Affan and Adam Schwartz to create this report. It offers research findings and actionable recommendations for safer biking infrastructure throughout Calgary. Establishing the right infrastructure is key to creating safe and healthy environments for pedestrians and cyclists. We hope this report will put forward safe biking infrastructure ideas to get to school and spark conversations within communities to make such changes. To know more, read this post!
