BikeBus Explorer Cambridgeshire

What is the BikeBus Explorer?

The BikeBus Explorer is a public bus service which takes walkers and cyclists closer to the countryside. It pulls a 20 cycle bike trailer behind - a first for Cambridgeshire. Similar services operate in only a handful of destinations in the UK.

When can I use the BikeBus Explorer?

Sundays and bank holidays only. The bus departs from a stand close to Cambridge Rail Station, four times a day, connecting villages between Barton and Gamlingay with the city.
