Start a Bike Bus at Your School — Training & Demo Ride
Curious about starting a bike bus for your neighborhood school? A bike bus is a group of kids riding to school together with adult supervision. It’s fun, safe, and a great way to build community while reducing traffic around schools.
Join us for a short training covering how bike buses work, how to plan a route, recruit families, and organize volunteers.
We’ll meet at Exchange Park where our own bike bus begins, so you can see what a real setup looks like. After the training, anyone who brings a bike can join an optional short demonstration ride along the route.
Parents, caregivers, teachers, and community members are all welcome. Kids are welcome to play at the park or join the ride if they’d like. Bring a bike and helmet if you plan to ride.
Provo’s Bike to Work (or Anywhere) Day
Celebrate Bike Month by swapping a car trip for a bike ride. Whether you’re commuting to work, riding to school, or just heading to a local coffee shop, Bike to Work Day encourages people to try cycling for everyday transportation and highlights the benefits of safer, more bike-friendly streets.
During the event participating businesses and organizations host breakfast stations that serve those who bike to work or anywhere. This event is a fantastic way for employers to encourage employee wellness and boost their presence in the community to attract more customers and quality employees.
