It’s Bike Bus Season!

Lake Nokomis Community School Bike Bus day is this FRIDAY May 8th. If you are reading this you are invited to join fellow LNCS students and caregivers and community members on the best bike bus around.

A bike bus is a group of folks riding their bike along a predefined route picking up other riders, on their own bikes, as they ride toward a final destination. It’s just like a school bus, but way cooler. Caregivers are expected to ride with their child to their school.

The LNCS Bike Bus will leave from near Agrarian Seed and Garden (52nd St at 47th Ave) at 8:30 AM, then work our way towards Wenonah, picking up riders at designated stops along 52nd St. Keewaydin students will peel off at 30th Ave. At 26th Ave we will head South, toward Wenonah along Shoreview Ave. See the “rough” schedule below for the location of each stop.

Estimated Schedule for the Bike Bus:
8:15 AM: Rendezvous at Agrarian Seed and Garden (47th Ave and 52nd St), this is where most people like to join the ride
8:30 AM: Leave from Agrarian Seed and Garden
8:35 AM: Stop 1: 40th Ave and 52nd St
8:40 AM: Stop 2: 35th Ave and 52nd St
8:45 AM: Stop 3: 30th Ave and 52nd St (Arrive at Keewaydin School)
8:50 AM: Stop 4: 26th Ave and 52nd St
8:55 AM: Stop 5: 54th St and Shoreview Ave
9:00 AM: Arrive at Wenonah School - Coffee and connecting for adult bikers!

Because of various after school activities there will not be a bike bus for the ride home after school. Caregivers are responsible for making sure their child and their child’s teacher know how the student will be getting home from school - include a note, email, or message via Talking Points if it’s different than usual.

**Caregivers are responsible for making safe choices for getting their children safely to and from school. All participants must wear bike helmets.
**Remember a bike lock!

🚲🌼 It’s Bike Bus Season! 🏫😊

Lake Nokomis Community School families, students, and community members—you’re invited to join the BEST bike bus around this Friday, May 8th!

A bike bus is a group ride along a set route, picking up more riders along the way as we head to school together. Think school bus vibes… but way cooler 😎 Caregivers should plan to ride with their child.

📍 Starting Point: Near Agrarian Seed and Garden (52nd St & 47th Ave)
🕣 Departure Time: 8:30 AM

We’ll roll down 52nd St, picking up riders at designated stops, with Keewaydin riders peeling off at 30th Ave. Then we head south on Shoreview Ave toward Wenonah.

🗓 Rough Schedule:
• 8:15 AM – Meet up at Agrarian Seed and Garden
• 8:30 AM – Ride begins
• 8:35 AM – Stop 1: 40th Ave & 52nd St
• 8:40 AM – Stop 2: 35th Ave & 52nd St
• 8:45 AM – Stop 3: 30th Ave & 52nd St (Keewaydin arrival)
• 8:50 AM – Stop 4: 26th Ave & 52nd St
• 8:55 AM – Stop 5: 54th St & Shoreview Ave
• 9:00 AM – Arrive at Wenonah School ☕ (coffee + connection for adult riders!)

🚫 No bike bus ride home this time—please make sure your child and their teacher know the after-school plan if it’s different than usual.

Safety First:
✔️ Caregivers are responsible for riding with their child
✔️ Helmets are required for all riders
✔️ Don’t forget a bike lock!

Grab your bikes and join the fun—we can’t wait to ride with you! 🚲💛
