The bike buses so far
7 riding and 14 getting started, every one of them added by a parent at their own school.
What is a bike bus?
Adults ride at the front and the back, the route and the mornings never change, and everybody arrives before the bell. Education Week rode along with one and filmed what a normal morning looks like.
No bike bus at your school? Start one.
Most bike buses start with one parent, one route, and three families who live nearby. Publish your route and your stops here, and give families a page you can actually send to someone.
Bike buses in the press
Newsrooms have been following bike buses as they spread. Here is what the people running them say when a reporter turns up.
“They come out and they wave us by and they ring a bell or cheer us on and it’s just the best feeling.”

Field notes
What organizers have worked out the hard way, written down so the next person does not have to.
Getting startedWrite a bike bus announcement a parent can answer
Before a family can say yes, they need the corner, the minute, whether a grown-up has to come, and who makes the weather call. The case for biking can wait.

Getting startedThe PTA does not need to run the bike bus
A parent can lead the ride. The PTA can help families hear about it, find a couple of adults, and open the door to the school office, without taking on the whole thing.

Getting startedThe easiest bike bus is once a week
One predictable morning is enough to build a routine. Pick a day your adults can repeat, publish the schedule, and let the ride grow from there.
