Here's a factoid that may inspire questions about candidates intentions to make riding a bike to school safer, in a half-term election in which half the candidates will rage against school shooters and the NRA:

Executive summary
None of the shooters were riding bicycles at the time of the
shootings. Therefore, bicycle riding should be encouraged as a means
of deterring further student school shootings and for identifying the
rider as a non-shooter.
