Safety is the number one concern impeding people who would be otherwise interested in biking to work. Solve the safety problem and you may get bicycle commuters as you’ve never had them before.

Australian bicycle commuters have come up with a simple solution: stay safe by sticking together.

From the bike bus website:

“A bike bus is a group of people who cycle to work in a group. It’s called a ‘bus’ because there is a set route and timetable so it can pick up more ‘passengers’ along the way. Cycling is a quick, fun way to get to work while keeping fit and healthy. A bike bus adds sociability and comfort. And it’s zero emission commuting, so you save 1.3 tonnes of greenhouse emissions per annum, for a 10km commute.”
