Who can join?
Who can join?
Thompson students with designated grownups, plus volunteers who are interested in helping out as member of the Bike Bus Team. Every child must be accompanied by at least one grownup(s) they know, please, to follow group-riding safety protocol.
Once each Bike Bus is more established, the organizers will reassess, with the goal that students who can group-ride safely can join on their own. If you have a child who is already a strong cyclist and wants to join the Bike Bus, please let them know that they must stay with the group and follow group riding protocol. They can help model safe riding habits to other children on the ride who are still learning! Typically, the back of any group bike ride travels at a more consistent, slightly faster pace, so encourage them to stay toward the end of the line.
