Bulldog Bike Bus
🎵 "Rollin’ with the Bulldog Bike Bus" 🎵
[Verse 1]
We’re rollin’ down the road with a smile, ring ring!
Pedalin’ together Bulldog-style, ding ding!
With our helmets snug and bright,
We ride into the light,
Headed off to school in single file!
[Chorus]
Hey hey! It’s the Bulldog Bike Bus!
Pedalin’ proud — come roll along with us!
We’re cruisin’ down the bike lane,
Mills Lawn kids — yeah, we’re top of the chain!
[Verse 2]
We stop and wave to neighbors on the way,
Greetin’ every morning like a holiday!
We’re strong, we’re kind, we care,
With fresh Ohio air —
Startin’ off our Bulldog kind of day!
[Bridge]
It’s good for your health, you’ll feel just right,
Strong hearts, clear minds, and smiles so bright!
We help the planet too —
Less gas and skies more blue,
A Bulldog ride that’s outta sight!
[Chorus - repeat]
Hey hey! It’s the Bulldog Bike Bus!
Pedalin’ proud — come roll along with us!
We’re cruisin’ down the bike lane,
Mills Lawn kids — yeah, we’re top of the chain!

We Need Your Help!
We would like at least one adult for every 4 students. The more adults, the better! Join us in ensuring the safety and success of our Bike Bus rides.
Encourage your students to start the day with physical activity. This supports emotional regulation, increased concentration, and a better day overall. Let's pedal our way to a healthier body and greener future together!
