In this episode of Smith Lane, we’re joined by Jessica Tillyer, co-founder of Bike Bus World, a movement dedicated to "transforming communities and our planet through the simple act of riding bikes to school together."
Jessica shares how the idea of the Bike Bus was born out of her own need for a community-driven way to bike her kids to school, and how it has grown into a powerful tool for building connections and changing the way we think about active transportation.
Additionally, Jessica shares her evolving perspective on balancing career and motherhood. Her insights are both inspiring and relatable for anyone navigating work and family life.
Whether you're curious about starting your own Bike Bus or looking for ways to create a more connected neighborhood, this episode is a must-listen!
