Do your kids go to Havens, and do they love to bike? If yes, mark your calendars for Friday, January 9th for the launch of the Bike Bus. Meet at Bear Park on the corner of King and Hampton at 8:00am and ride to Havens together at 8:10am. 

Got bike concerns? Ryan Moore from Oakland Trek will be on hand to check your bikes. Parents - want to join? You can, but feel free to drop your kids to encourage that independence. We’ll have a few experienced parents riding with the group, along with a dedicated PPD police officer - so kids can learn street safety and the rules of the road while en route.

What’s needed?

• Helmet and bike required 

• Kids must know how to ride a bike with a backpack on

• Bike parking located on Havens school property - no bike lock needed

How does my kid get back?

• Ride home with friends or solo

• Head to Piedmont Park for Free Play Friday and pick them up later

• Throw the bike in your car or on your bike rack

• For the first Bike Bus day, we will organize a Bike Bus back to Bear Park leaving the front of Havens at 3:15pm (please be on time for pick up).

This inaugural event is for Havens school families, and we hope to expand to more schools in the future. If you’re a Beach or Wildwood family, let us know if you’d like to help coordinate one for your school.
