A bike bus is a group of cyclists who ride together along a predetermined route and schedule. Like a traditional bus, it usually has designated stops where riders can join or leave the group.
Unlike recreational cycling groups, bike buses are primarily focused on practical everyday journeys, like going to school.
Bike buses have existed since the 1990’s offering a sustainable, healthy, and fun way to get around. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclists or a curious newcomer, there are many benefits to be gained from joining a bike bus.
Why a Bike Bus?

- Healthier kids - cycling builds fitness, focus, and confidence.
- Stronger community - parents, kids, and neighbours connect.
- Cleaner environment - fewer cars at school drop-offs, less traffic, and lower emissions
