Not a regular mom—a BIKE BUS mom! They bring the bandaids. They take the lead or make sure no one gets left behind. They pump up the jams and make space for quiet wonder. They are the Mamas of Bike Bus. They have created Bike Buses in Canada, Mexico, Portugal, United States, Scotland, England, Spain, Colombia, Ecuador, Italy, Nigeria, and beyond. This movement is fueled by a network of parents, volunteers, grandparents, neighbors, students, and (sometimes) city leaders. Many of whom are moms, grandmas, or maternal beings. We (you) rock! To Moms who have watched Bike Bus and feel the itch to join us—do it! We want you in this ride. Traen las tiritas. Toman la iniciativa o se aseguran de que nadie se quede atrás. Ponen la música a todo volumen y crean espacio para la tranquila admiración. Son las Mamás del Bike Bus. Han creado Bike Buses en Canadá, México, Portugal, Estados Unidos, Escocia, Inglaterra, España, Colombia, Ecuador, Italia, Nigeria y más allá. Este movimiento se nutre de una red de padres, voluntarios, abuelos, vecinos, estudiantes y (a veces) líderes municipales. Muchos de ellos son mamás, abuelas o figuras maternas. ¡Nosotras (ustedes) somos geniales! A las mamás que han visto el Bike Bus y sienten el impulso de unirse a nosotras: ¡háganlo! Las queremos en este recorrido.
If anyone knows of a better vibe at 9am than bike bus please let me know. Oh especially if it’s not just a party but a party to get somewhere you need to go. #bike #bikebus #biketoeverything #bikeswillsavetheworld #montclair
In the video of Artemis II we saw a group of leaders who loved contributing, having meaningful contributions, who had found their crew, found the joy, and wanted to inspire more people to make a difference. It was refreshing for us all to have leaders like this broadcasted—we live in a time where a lot of public leaders leave something to be desired! But it was also a reminder of HOW MANY GOOD PEOPLE there are in the world. Crews of people who in all different ways are competently and creatively making the world a better place. It’s possible to see some parallels between the Artemis II mission and the bike bus movement. We love our earth and humanity. Through contributing to our neighborhoods through biking together we want to make this world a better place! And we do it as a crew. Join us.
No one asked for it it, but these are my bike essentials especially on rainy days. 🙃 Love my @explorethousand helmet, @goodr sunnies, @gofluo bag, @cleverhood jacket, and @chrome_industries rain pants. Base layer is anything you want…leather mini skirt, wool long johns, sweats, etc. Dry and snug.
