Bike buses in British Columbia

Starting a bike bus in British Columbia

Starting one is mostly a matter of deciding to. A bike bus is families riding to school together on a public street, and getting your own child there under their own power is ordinarily yours to decide. What varies is what your school expects once you arrive, so tell the office you exist: the front desk and whoever works the crossing will want to know a group is coming.

The routes that work best run on residential streets and paths and cross an arterial once, with an adult waiting at the crossing so the group goes over together. If your only option is riding along a main road, start with a shorter route that avoids it.
