Cyclists Commuting Together
Get On Board.. it's not really a bus, it's bicycles! BUT like a bus we have a set route and a timetable, so cyclists can jump on and off the bus along the route. We're car friendly - we realise that we share the road with others. We want to:
- Encourage people to Commute by Bike
- Benefit from Safety in Numbers
- Share our Commute with Friends
Latest:
- (01/07/09) 11 riders this morning. 5 this evening - more stats
- (17/06/09) A647 Bike Bus makes maiden voyage, with 6 people.

Things to do..
What the riders say.

"I always knew cyclists were a friendly bunch but I didn't expect to be picked up on a ride to work one Wednesday morning! That's how I met the Aire Valley Bike Bus. Happily I've been riding with them now for a couple of weeks and it's definitely a much nicer experience than riding alone. Hopefully the bike bus timetable will soon be able to expand and I'll have riding buddies every day." - Bike Buser
