With Bike Buses, Kid Cyclists Dominate the Road
As more families have considered biking to school during the pandemic, they’ve turned to group bike commutes to make their journeys safer — and more visible.
A man in a Superman costume and a child on a tricked-out tricycle, affectionately nicknamed “trek-ceratops,” stood out among the pack of cyclists riding right down the middle of JFK Drive in San Francisco on their way to school.
Two parents sped ahead to the intersection at the corner of 11th and Mission to block off traffic. No police escort was present. And music blasted from the speakers on “Trek-ceratops.”
