You can join friendly cycling families riding to Trace every week. The Eastern Bike Train rides to Trace every school day and the Western Bike Train has a number of riders but needs a new leader. Bike trains provide a safe route, high visibility, and kids love biking together. As a bonus, you get to know more Trace families along the way to school.
Eastern Bike Train
On any school day, you can bike to Trace with a group of other families coming from the neighborhoods east of Park Ave and Race St. You can join this train at Cleaves Ave and San Fernando St, as it crosses Race, turns from Yosemite Ave onto Tillman Ave, or at the staffed crosswalk at Park Ave and Calaveras Ave. See approximate times on the map below.

Southern Bike Train
Newest bike train coming from the south off of San Carlos Street meets at the Jack-In-The-Box around 8:00am then rides up Dana Ave.

Western Bike Train
Coming form the West and want to bike to Trace with other families? This has been a route taken in the past but not consistently active. If you want to revise or make a new Western Bike Train go for it and let us know how we can help you!
Organize Your Own Bike Train or Walking Bus
Getting your own kid-powered group started is as easy as talking to a neighbor or friend with a child who attends Trace. If you’d like to share your route with the community or have us let you know when new routes are created in your neighborhood, contact our committee via Trace-Walk-n-Roll@googlegroups.com.
Trace Walk n’ Roll has more events, resources, and volunteer opportunities.
