The Bike Bus
A bike bus is an organized group of students who ride their bicycles to school together along a set route. Functioning just like a traditional school bus, it operates on a fixed schedule with designated meeting points and is led and supervised by adult volunteers or parents.
What: SRE’s First Inaugural Bike Bus
When: Friday, May 29th
Where: Starting point is 2002 Feliz Rd, leaving promptly at 8:10am
Why:
- Safety in Numbers: Riding in a large, visible pack makes children more noticeable to drivers, creating a safer environment than a child riding alone.
- Community & Fun: It turns the morning commute into a social event, often featuring music and a joyful atmosphere that avoids the dreaded school car line.
- Health & Environment: It promotes physical activity for kids while cutting down on morning traffic congestion and emissions around school zones.
The map details the initial route planned for the San Ramon bike-bus scheduled for May 29th with corresponding bike-bus “stops” and approximate times for student riders to join. Click or touch the map above for details including the first bike-bus stop at 2002 Feliz Rd, which departs at 8:10 am. We plan to arrive at San Ramon Elementary at 8:20 am. Please note, we recognize this route is convenient mostly for students that live East of San Ramon Elementary. Other bike-bus routes can and should be organized in the near future, as well as, walking-buses for students who prefer not to ride a bike, or those that may live too far away, but can still be dropped off by a parent/guardian at a destination to join a walking-bus group.
