    In one of City Nerd’s episodes, he showed a town in the northwest. In the town the gym teacher at the school rides his bike around to “bus” kids to school on their bikes. They “pick up” more kids as they go. Parents and community members joined in. They all rode to school in the mornings.

    I cried with joy

      I think this is called a bike bus and they are becoming more common. Some parents are evening joining in with cargo bikes to help carry backpacks and such.

      A big factor is a group of cyclists takes more road space and is much more visible, making it harder for drivers to force them off the road and into the gutters.
