Determination From the Beginning: Bodhi Linde Makes His 1,000th Bike Ride to School

Bodhi Linde had a goal, and he wouldn’t let anything, even a global pandemic stop him from reaching it. His goal was to ride his bike to school, rain or shine, for 1000 days straight. Bodhi began riding the two-mile, one-way trip to school in kindergarten with his father Dan, a paraprofessional at Central High School. “We haven’t ridden a car once to school,” Bodhi said. “I’m doing an achievement every day.” Twice a week, Bodhi hauls not just his backpack but a cello and saxophone. At first, he carried them in makeshift carriers attached to the side of his bike but now uses a more formal trailer.
