Bagels & coffee

Thanks to Southland Bagel for being a great neighbor! We gratefully accept donations β€” when kind folks like the Bike Bus Bagel Fanatics (friends & neighbors of Picadome!) step up, the first dozen bagels and coffees are on us for early arrivers. Come early, they go fast!

~1 mile, quiet streets all the way

A gentle neighborhood route from Southland Bagel to the Picadome bike rack β€” mostly residential, with guide parents at every crossing.

Good for kids, good for neighbors

The Bike Bus is a simple, joyful way to build community around Picadome β€” one Friday morning at a time.

🦺

Safety in numbers

Riding as a group with guide parents is safer than solo rides β€” and way more visible to drivers.

πŸ’š

Good for bodies

Active commutes improve focus and mood. Kids arrive at school ready to learn.

🏘️

Community building

Meet your neighbors. Let kids ride with friends. This is what neighborhoods are for.

🌿

Better streets

More bikes signal to the city that safe routes to school matter β€” and that we're using them.

Every Friday β€” all year

Mark your calendars. We ride every Friday for the rest of the school year, plus a special bonus ride on the Last Day of School.
