Things to Consider

| π‘ | It can be dark in the morning. Bright clothing and a bike light are a great idea. |

What’s Next for the Bike Bus?
We hope to attract a great group of riders and learn from our fall rides before relaunching in the spring. Over the winter, we’ll reflect on what went well and what needs to change before starting our weekly rides again.
We also hope to add additional routes to Hyde Park School in the future based on interest. If you love this idea but the initial route isn’t ideal, share your address via the interest form so we can plan future routes.
