Episode 18: Mindy Robinson, Eatons Hill Bike Bus

In this week’s episode, Von and Steve sit down with Mindy Robinson, the dynamic and passionate organizer behind the Eatons Hill Bike Bus, a community initiative that helps children safely ride their bikes to school. Operating on two mornings a week, the Eatons Hill Bike Bus follows a set route with three designated stops and includes fun music along the way to keep the kids engaged. 

Mindy, a mother of three boys and a university student studying Honours in Dietetics, launched this project to promote physical activity, road safety awareness, and community engagement among local school children. With a Blue Card and first aid training, Mindy ensures the safety and well-being of all participants. The Bike Bus has received positive feedback from the community, reducing traffic congestion around the school and providing a fun, active start to the children's day.
