We'll be starting up both Wednesday Abernethy Bike Bus Routes on the first week of the school year!
This is a consistent, fun and safe way for kids and parents to bike together to school. We find that it builds student confidence, builds social skills, gets exercise and reduces traffic. For many families it transforms the trip to school into an event to anticipate and enjoy.
- Choose either the Lincoln-Harrison or Clinton Route (see attached flyer map and times)
- We need adult volunteers to help organize & keep kids safe from cars. Join our Volunteer Bike Bus Leader WhatsApp Group. No previous group riding experience required.
SAFETY
- Helmets required!
- If your child does not already ride to school on their own, please plan on biking with us for the first rides to make sure they can bike safely in a group.
- At road crossings where we'll stop the group to gather, post up adult and make sure cars wait while we cross en masse.
- Please ride behind the Bike Bus Driver-- the one with the speaker playing the tunes.
No bike bus home-- you can team up with families on your block to get small groups of kids home. If you're interested in consistently organizing & leading a larger bike bus home, let us know.
