The Springview Bike Bus offers a parent-led group ride to Springview Elementary every Friday morning. Like a school bus, the bike bus follows the same route each week and picks up children along the way. The Bike Bus is open to all Springview families who want to start riding bike to school. Riders can join in at any point in the route.

Springview Bike Bus co-founder Noel waits to start another ride.

If you feel your child can ride confidently, and keep up with others, they might be ready to ride!

We highly recommend that parents ride alongside their child if this is their first time riding bike to school.
