Young cyclists take over Barcelona streets
STORY: Mini cyclists are taking over Barcelona’s streets
It’s part of ‘bicibus,’ or Barcelona’s bike bus
The citizen-led project allows hundreds of
children to cycle safely to school in a convoy
“I have to wake up earlier… Yes, I like it, partly because I want to go on the Bicibus, but I also feel very sleepy.”
It started in 2021 with just one route
And has since expanded to 15
Parent volunteers and a police road escort
ensure safety for the young cyclists
Organizers estimate 700 people used the routes
in 2020-21, translating into 15,000 commutes
