Hi, I’m Kellen, and I started Bike Bus Edmonton because I believe in the power of community—and the bicycle—as tools for change.

I’ve been riding a bike for transportation since 1999, back when it was far from normal in Edmonton. Over the years, cycling has been my way to stay well, stay grounded, and stay connected—even during life’s busiest seasons. I want to share the joy I’ve experienced with active transportation. 

And I believe the best place to start is with kids.

In 2022, I discovered the concept of a “bike bus”—a group of children and adults riding to school together—and I knew it was the perfect way to build something bigger than just a ride. It’s a way to build community.

Bike Bus Edmonton is about more than getting to school. It’s about creating joyful, social, and safe spaces where kids, parents, and neighbours connect. It’s about showing children that they can move through our city with confidence and independence. It’s about giving families a reason to slow down, show up, and ride together.

This is just the beginning. We’re building a movement—one ride, one family, one neighbourhood at a time.

Come ride with us. Let’s build something better, together.
