This fall, children in the Eixample area of Barcelona, Spain have a new way to get to school on Fridays—they ride to school. In September, a group of five children began biking to school with their parents on Fridays. Soon the group grew to 150 or more. The program is called “bicibús” or bike bus.

The Eixample bike bus begins around 8:25 every Friday morning. The path(线路) it will follow is always posted ahead of time, so everyone knows where to join. The bicibús starts off with just a few students and parents, with more and more joining as it travels along.

Most kids ride their bikes, but others use skates. Instead of riding in bike-ways or on sidewalks(人行道), the bicibús takes over the whole street. With music playing and bike bells ringing, the bicibús feels like a party.

Being able to ride with a large group of kids is a big part of the fun. Nine-year-old María Pitarch says, “The best part of the bicibús is that we ride along and pick up my friends and we ride together.”

The Eixample bicibús goes to several schools. When students reach their school, they leave the bus and park their bikes. Some parents have made the bicibús the way they get to work on Fridays.
