From what I remember from her presentation there was a trailer of bikes at the start of the ride each week for kids to use. When the grant was over the trailer of bikes wasn’t there anymore. No bikes for those kids so they couldn’t ride anymore.

Absolutely!! For that kid it made a difference & they felt scene.

Barriers are massive, but that doesn’t mean we should work to try to remove them. Proud of all the work Bike Bus leaders are doing (unpaid) to get more children & families to participate.

I’m not sure why the @nondriver.bsky.social Bike Bus went that route, but it doesn’t feel right to say Bike Buses do more harm than good. The movement has been overwhelmingly positive, helping more people care about children’s mobility and inclusion while working to address equity barriers.

This model creates lasting access rather than a short-term pilot that ends abruptly and risks shaming families who continue to ride. It’s a reminder that sustainable systems of inclusion take time, trust, and consistency.

I’m not sure why they chose that approach, but this approach can end up doing more harm than good. By contrast, most Bike Buses start with the riders who already can participate, while steadily working to remove barriers so more children can join over time.

@nondriver.bsky.socialβ€˜s Bike Bus is the only one I’ve heard of that applied & received a grant to give children bikes so they could ride in the Bike Bus. Unfortunately, that grant ended, leaving those same children without bikes to ride. 🧡

I get emails from people moving to Portland asking what neighborhood has a bike bus.

Today’s hot bike bus rumor is that there’s a realtor mentioning bike bus as a neighborhood amenity for house shoppers in the area

Milwaukee Gets Its Wish, City Can Tow All Reckless Drivers Loopholes made prior policies "somewhat useless."

In Milwaukee, police will now be able to impound any vehicle driven recklessly.

City Alderman: β€œIt’s a two-ton weapon. We should look at this the same way we look at firearms. Let’s get as many of them off the street as possible.”

This morning’s commute was anything but ordinary, Penelope and I joined the neighborhood bike bus to school! 🚲 Big thank you to our neighbor Alan for leading the way and keeping the wheels (and the good vibes) rolling.

If your school zone infrastructure doesn't look like this, maybe it's time to start asking why not.
