It's not really a bus, it's bicycles! But like a bus the Aire Valley Bike Bus has a set route and a timetable, so cyclists can jump on and off the bus along the route.
The group began cycling together every Wednesday morning in August 2008 with the aim to:
· Encourage people to commute by bike
· Benefit from safety in numbers
· Share the commute with friends
There has since been a steady growth in riders and there are currently eleven people using the bus, who have ridden over 130 commuter miles between them. The group are a mix of seasoned riders and people who are just venturing back onto their bikes after a number of years. The pace and atmosphere is friendly.
Interest in bike buses is growing and if you are interested in joining the Aire Valley Bike Bus or setting up a bike bus in your area visit the Aire Valley Bike Bus website or email the group.
