What Are Bike Trains?

Bike trains (also known as bike buses) are organized groups of cyclists who ride together along a regular route to school, work, or community destinations. These group rides create a safe, fun way for students to get to school while building community connections and encouraging physical activity.

Beyond the joy of cycling together, bike trains have shown remarkable benefits for school attendance. When students have a reliable, fun way to get to school with their peers, truancy rates decrease significantly. The social aspect and sense of responsibility to the group helps ensure consistent school attendance.

Our Helmet Heads program aims to establish bike trains in South Carolina communities, providing bikes and safety gear to students who need them, while creating structured group rides that get kids to school safely and on time.
