Parents and teachers in Bali are keen to understand their role in nurturing and developing the bike-to-school preference of children. This is in the midst of the fact that more and more children in Bali prefer to go to school in motorcycles.
According to a parent-teacher, Made Darwi, the lifestyles of parents contribute to the inclination of a student to use either the bike or motorcycle to school. He said this at the SMP Sunari Loka junior high school in Kuta, during the campaign initiated by the Denpasar-based association of bicycle communities (SAMAS) which was attended by some 300 first grade junior high school students.
According to Made Darwi, there are 200 out of 1,200 students who ride the bicycle to go to school. And the primary reason for this is the influence of their headmaster who is engaged in the Sunari Loka Bicycle Community.
I Gusti Ngurah Wirata, an active member of the Denpasar-based Lelasan Berseri bicycle community, says “Cycling to school is not only for health or to save the environment. As a father, I see it as a way for my children to understand that things in life do not all come in an instant. There’s a process in everything”.
According to Endra Datta, Secretary of SAMAS, it is always a challenging work to continue to promote the bike-to-school campaign among junior high school students. Presently, they are putting efforts at strengthening the campaigns that are already instilled in schools like Sunari Loka. But the work is more difficult when they have to start the campaign in new schools.
In support of their cause, safety riding guidelines are also being disseminated by the police among high school students.
This campaign is a very nice one as it also helps save the environment. And now, Bali is not only just known for its Bali villa rentals and villas in Bali, but also for campaigns which promote safety and healthy environment.
