Bike Bus PDX
Bike donation event gets St. Johns families on the Bike Bus
James John Elementary has an active bike bus that has spurred demand for bikes among the school community. Bike Bus leader and mom Jessica Fletcher has stepped up to meet the need. “I have become the biking lady here at our school,” she said. Fletcher has seen the bike bus grow in popularity, but realized a lot of kids were left out. She did a school survey and found 50% of the students don’t even have a bike and that half the families driving to school wanted to ride instead. “So I just felt like, there can’t be this wonderful thing that everybody’s doing and then so many kids can’t do it because they don’t even have a bicycle.”
