Welcome to the CycleBus Community on ChangeX. The Cyclebus initiative is about giving primary school children the opportunity to cycle safely to school in a safe, healthy, social, and enjoyable environment. It’s about community involvement where parents, grandparents, teachers, and volunteers all create the conditions for this to happen. Help us cut pollution and traffic congestion around schools.

Thanks for joining!
