Detailed description (English): Following an idea from Spain, BiciBus Deutschland (Germany) are now helping students get to school in a safe and environmentally friendly way.
Cycling in a group of at least 16 people is the key. The BiciBus, which always consists of at least 16 participants, is considered a cohesive vehicle according to German traffic regulations. The children and young people in the convoy can and should be accompanied by adults who provide security for the BiciBus convoy. Ideally, the younger participants ride in the right-hand row and the adults in the left-hand row. Securing the front and back is also possible. BiciBus is also suitable for children under the age of eight who are otherwise not allowed to ride on the road. And according to BiciBus, the legal insurance cover also includes the route to school or daycare.
A NEW BiciBus will start on 22th of September in the town of Lohmar Hoven aiming at GGS Wahlscheid. Start 7am!
Target group(s): Students, Parents, Bicyle Supporter
Objectives: The BiciBus is on the road a safe alternative to the parents’ taxi, a rolling demonstration train on two wheels, but most important, enables children to practice active mobility in a safe environment on their way to school.
