Bike Trains are simply a group of kids riding together with adult supervision, picking up kids at their homes or meetup points on the way to and from school.
~ Bike Trains build a great sense of community ~
They help facilitate easy communication for kids with each other, in their own neighborhoods, on the way to and from school.
It makes it easy for parents (who don’t have to worry about where to park the car) to connect with teachers, staff, and other parents at school as they chat around the bike rack.
~ Bike Trains provide safety and supervision ~
Parent “conductors” will guide each bike train to school and back to provide supervision and safety. We will develop safe train routes to pick up and drop off the kids and encourage safe biking practice.
~ Bike Trains encourage kids to be healthy ~
Bike riding is GREAT exercise and these days with kids being en-larded with our high fructose corn syrup lifestyle, every bit of exercise is important. As kids learn to be confident cyclists they can form healthy habits that will last their whole life long.
~ Bike Trains are good for the environment ~
Each car that doesn’t need to make the trip to the rather crowded school helps keep our community healthy and green house gas out of our atmosphere.
~ Bike Trains are JUST PLAIN FUN ~
What could be more fun than joining your friends and neighbors in bringing the bike train into school and then home again? Come on… If your child would like to come on the bike train or you can volunteer any time at all please…..JOIN US
