Atlanta Bike Bus

ATL Rocks!

Atlanta Streets Alive Family and Kids Ride

Come join the bike buses from Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School, Benteen ES, Burgess Peterson ES, Drew Charter, Parkside ES, and Toomer ES, and ride the Grant Park/Summerhill Atlanta Streets Alive route!

We’ll mass at Parkside, ride across Grant Park, and then roll down the Streets Alive route as we pick up more kids and families along the way. After 1.5 miles, we’ll stop to have a frozen treat and socialize. Families are welcome to continue on the Streets Alive route on their own, or ride back to Parkside with the group. While we are stopped in Summerhill, feel free to grab food or a drink at any of the food options on the map. More info.

Welcome to the Bike Bus Era

What?

A bike bus (or bike train) is a group of riders traveling together on predetermined routes, at a specified time, to a shared final destination.

Why?

Create safe, active transportation alternative for school kids and families.

Active transportation via the bike bus:

  • Builds community, both within schools and the surrounding neighborhood
  • Improves academic performance, including focus and task management
  • Teaches safe cycling habits and rules of the road
  • Fosters independence
  • Improves mental health
