But also - we are in need more racks at Nettelhorst! This one came last week after three years of asking but we still had about 15 bikes locked to fences and poles today. It’s been a real struggle to get them at schools.

You are welcome to use it!

✨Happy Friday!✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us today!

See you next Friday!

Image of bikes with the text: 3. When we ride on broadway, grown-ups form a wall against the yellow line. Kids ride on the right. THIS IS TO KEEP THE KIDS FROM VEERING INTO TRAFFIC

Also, not a bad time to remind the kids about our rules on the bike bus before we ride!

South route! ⬇️

Have you ever wondered who leads the Nettelhorst Bike Bus?

Since we’ve grown, we wanted to introduce ourselves! We have many more helpers, but this is your starting lineup for each of our routes!

#bikebus

North Route⬇️

We cancel if there is ice on the ground or we feel like we don’t have enough adult marshals to keep the ride safe. Those cancellations will be posted here by 6pm Thursday night.

We’ll be posted more about the leaders, the rules and the routes in the next few days!

✨Hope to see you there!✨
