[2020·石家庄高中毕业班教学质检(一)]In Spain，children and their families are riding bikes to school together in large groups.The programme is called“bicibús”or the bike bus.In Barcelona，the programme started recently with only five children and grew quickly to hundreds of riders.
This fall，children in the Eixample area of Barcelona have a new way to get to school on Fridays—they ride their bikes.In September，a group of five children began biking to school with their parents on Fridays.Soon the group grew to 150 or more.The bike bus begins around 8：25 every Friday morning.The path it will follow is always posted ahead of time，so everyone knows where to join.
Instead of riding in bike lanes(车道)or on sidewalks，the bicibús takes up the entire street.The commute(上下班路程)of these bikers takes about 25 minutes.And with the evergrowing cycling and skating kids taking part in this bike bus culture，the local police are helping stop traffic by riding in front of the bicibús and behind it.This further makes the parents happy that the additional security means their children will travel safely to school.
With music playing and bike bells ringing，the bicibús feels like a party.“The best part of the bicibús is that we ride along and pick up our friends and we ride together，”nineyearold María Pitarch says.
Some parents have made the bicibús the way they get to work on Fridays.Parents are hoping that the bicibús will help change ideas about how people can get around in the city.They want the city to create wider，kidfriendly bike lanes that are separate from vehicle lanes.They point out that the bicibús also helps cut down on pollution.
Recently，pictures and videos of the Eixample bicibús got a lot of attention on social media.Many people pointed out what a simple idea it is，and how easy it is to get started.Already some other areas in Barcelona are also organizing bike buses.
