The Brown Bike Bus Is Back Tomorrow!
September 9, September 16 and September 23
Start the morning with bikes, music, and a whole bunch of Bobcats. Three routes roll to school from Sloan’s Lake, Federal, and Lakeshore Drive, all about a 10-minute ride.
Confident riders in 2nd grade and up may ride with the group independently. ECE through 1st grade should have an adult riding along.
Every ride also needs a few grownups to lead, sweep, or help at intersections. You do not have to be a serious cyclist to volunteer.
Routes, dates, waiver and volunteer sign-up: brownbikebus.com
