The morning commute to Lewes Elementary School looked a little different for dozens of students and community members on a recent morning.
Instead of lining up in cars or waiting for a traditional school bus, more than 40 riders grabbed their bicycles, strapped on their backpacks and pedaled together toward school.
Music filled the air as the group made its way through the streets.
Students rode alongside teachers and other community members, while neighbors stepped outside to cheer them on.
What started as a morning ride quickly turned into something resembling a rolling celebration, with children joining the growing group along the way.
