Bike Buses show the power, and the demand, of cycling to school
A Bike Bus is a brilliant way to support and encourage primary-school children to cycle to school, reducing traffic and giving families the experience of cycling together. Bike Buses can also improve on-road cycling proficiency, with the safety of being directed by adults and surrounded by other children cycling.
Bike Bus routes are planned for school runs, and parents, carers and volunteer marshals ride in formation to make sure children on the ride are kept safe from vehicles. Worcester’s first Bike Bus was started by Katie and Rob Collier at North Worcester Primary Academy, and Bike Worcester would like to support other parents in setting up their own Bike Bus.
Bike Worcester is campaigning for safe routes to school without the need for a Bike Bus to keep all children safe
Bike Worcester has support from Worcester City Council and Worcestershire County Council to help parents start their own Bike Buses at other Primary Schools in the city. We have flags, vests and banners to publicise bike buses along the journey and outside of schools. We can also help share routes and bike bus information to schools and parents, ensuring new bike buses keep momentum and increase interest over time.
