Since 2023

Newton Rayzor Elementary Bike Bus

At-a-Glance

Group rides: Wednesdays, 7:10am

  • Lead team: Parent volunteers

  • Pace: relaxed, ~6–8 mph

  • Distance: 0.5–1.0 miles depending on stop

Routes

  • North Lakes neighborhood

  • Carroll Streets neighborhood

How it works

  • Students arrive 3–5 minutes early at their stop. Parents don’t have to drop off unless so desired.

  • Helmets on; quick ABC check (Air, Brakes, Chain)

  • Ride together—Parent leader sets pace

  • At school: leaders escort to bike racks. Students lock up their own bikes.

  • After school: students and parents coordinate a way home. Bike Bus volunteers are not always available to escort back to the stop.
