What a bike bus is

A group of families who ride to school together on the same morning each week, picking children up at stops along a set route. Grown-ups ride at the front and the back, so a child who is not ready to ride alone can still ride.

It is a school run, not an event. The same morning, the same corners, the same time, every week.

Nobody official runs it. The grown-ups are the parents already riding, there is no fee and no permission slip, and three families is enough to call it one. Most begin as one street riding together and grow because other families see it go past.
