No that's not the point. In countries like the Netherlands where proper bike infrastructure is in place, cyclists physically separated from car traffic. This type of "freak accident" would not happen if that were the case here.

    It's less about how we move lumber and more highlighting the dangers of having cyclists share the road with giant trucks and cars. You wouldn't hear stories like this in countries like the Netherlands where they actually provide proper bike infrastructure that's separated from the road.

    It would be a similar process to organizing a club, though the exact steps would differ between schools. Ideally you'd meet up at a common central location for everyone and then continue onward to school, picking up other students along the way at other checkpoints.

    IDK what the culture is like at your school, but if you're feeling motivated consider offering to organize a group ride to school to encourage others to join in. It could just start out as a one-time or once a month thing and increase from there if there's enough interest.

    Assuming the structure can support the weight, I'm all in favor of green roofs. Though, most buildings are privately owned and therefore are not true replacements for proper public greenspace within a city. I think it's also important not to get distracted from the primary source of land waste within cities: car infrastructure.
