Bike Trains

Bicycle trains are based on the same concept as walking school buses: they provide a way for children to bike to school safely in a group with adult supervision, whether it’s during a special event or a daily trip to school.  

Keep in mind that bicycle trains are more involved than walking school buses. But when a bike train is organized well, it can be a rewarding experience for both the students and the adult leaders.
