Hundreds of Kids Participate in ‘Bicibús’ in Spain 🚲

Hundreds of schoolchildren in Barcelona, Spain, are participating in a ‘bicibús,’ or ‘bike bus,’ which allows them to commute to school by bicycle rather than cars or buses.

According to Reuters, the citizen-led project was launched last year with the support of the Barcelona City Council, regular police escort, and more than 80 volunteer parents. It’s estimated 700 people participated in at least one of the city’s 15 bike bus routes during the 2021-22 school year.

‘We anticipate that children who participate in bicibús will be more likely to ride a bike, have better cycling habits, more sustainable transportation habits, and we think they will change the travel patterns of their family, as well,’ said Jordi Honey-Roses, a local urban planner and researcher based in Barcelona.
