but new jersey isn't denmark

It is very important to encourage car dependancy and thinking about the last century I guess. And it isn't just this school - "no bike" policies are increasingly common in suburbia.

Many studies indicate kids are terrible drivers, so providing parking places for kids with cars and none for bikes is a bit daft. If the road is an issue, perhaps it makes sense to recognize kids are important and reduce the speed limit to 20 or 25 mph (something that probably makes sense in all towns to encourage bike use). Maybe the students will learn a bit about activism.

and there are other things to consider...
