A bike bus is a group of people (children and parents) who cycle to school. It’s called a “bus” because rides along a fixed route and schedule, so it can pick up more “passengers” along the way (yes, just like a standard bus, you wait for it: the bus doesn’t wait for you, otherwise it would never get to school on time!)
Learn how to start a bike bus for your school in this fun and engaging workshop. Walk away with the necessary knowledge and a toolkit full of actionable advice.

The Town’s Integrated Transport Strategy sets the strategic direction for managing the Town’s transport network. The Strategy outlines how we will provide an integrated, accessible and sustainable transport network that connects people to places and supports the Town as a liveable inner-city community.
Your Move is a free program that provides information and support to help you find healthier, more active ways to get around. Whether it’s finding nearby places to walk, wheel or ride to, or walking with your kids to school, we’re here to help you make small, sustainable changes to how you get around.
Victoria Park’s community has expressed a desire to fast-track the development of the Town’s cycling network. By helping kids and families ride to school together, we are enabling safety in numbers while helping people shift trips to active transportation, reducing car traffic, fostering community, and fighting climate change.
Bike Bus is a global movement. In a growing number of cities and towns around the world it is a regular mode of transportation to safely and joyfully bike with kids to school.
Here are a few examples from overseas. Australia is still lagging behind, so be among the first ones to join the Victoria Park Bike Bus Network!
