Because of bus/car centric design of school students are discouraged to bike and should take the bus instead
When the Bridgewater-Raritan High School environmental club settled on a way to spend more than $2,000 raised over the last four years, co-president Michelle Slosberg never imagined their choice would be so controversial.
...
More than a week ago, the carbon-conscious students offered to buy and install a bike rack at the school, but were baffled by the response. Principal James Riccobono declined the offer.
...
Slosberg and Dransfield said Riccobono expressed concerns over the safety of students jostling with the heavy bus and car traffic in front of the school and biking along busy Garretson Road.

"In as much as the district provides courtesy busing to students who live within walking distance of the high school, because of the danger on Garretson Road, it does (not) make sense, in my opinion, to promote the riding of bicycles to school," the letter read.
