How do I ride the Bike Bus?
The Bike Bus works like a normal bus stop.
​
1) There are designated routes and stops with specific pick up times. Find your route.
​
2) Show up anywhere along the route and join the 'bus'.
​
3) The Bike Bus will ride once a week during the fall while the weather is nice. Check the schedule for our Bike Bus days.
