A fun, safe group bike ride to Valley Vista Public Waldorf in Petaluma, CA. Organized by school parents. Inspired by bike buses across the world.
We gather at Keny’s Donuts (202 Douglas St). Come early enough to grab a snack if you want!
We leave together, ride together, and keep a kid-friendly pace the whole way.
It’s a 0.9 mile ride, about 10 minutes at kid speed. We arrive with time to park bikes before the first bell.
We roll out from Keny’s Donuts and ride 0.9 miles via Baker, English, and Webster Streets, a mellow 10-minute cruise straight to the bike racks at Valley Vista.
Arriving from another part of the city or farther away? You can either park for free at Keny’s Donuts and ride in with us, or chat with other riders about organizing your own bike bus.
We recommend the Bike Streets app for finding a safe kid-friendly route to the donut shop. It’s a free bike route app customized by Petalumans.
Every ride is the first Wednesday of the month. Same meet-up, same route, all year.
We’re there every first Wednesday. Look for us at the donut shop.
We’re looking for more volunteers! Email info@petalumabikebus.com.
Ride updates, questions, and weather calls all happen in the Walk & Ride group on the VVPW WhatsApp.
This is a community run event and each participating family is responsible for their own safety. By participating, families acknowledge that there are risks that may arise from participants’ or others’ actions, and that participants assume those risks.
All participants are required to wear a helmet to ride with the group. We recommend that children 2nd grade and under have a designated adult chaperone (such as a parent or friend) along for the ride. Older students are welcome to ride without an adult.
