The Green Line - A Weekly Commuter Bike Bus for Working Adults

April–October 2026Every Wednesday morningDeparts Lockwood Park at 7:30 AMFor immediate updates, follow Oaks and Spokes on Instagram: @oaksandspokes

We are excited to announce a weekly commuter bike bus on Raleigh’s Crabtree Creek and House Creek Greenways.

What is a commuter bike bus? Like the bike buses popping up nationwide, it is a group ride with a purpose, centered on transportation. Ours is designed for working adults.

The Green Line leaves at the same time every Wednesday and heads west along Crabtree Creek, then House Creek, to NC State and Downtown Raleigh.

If you live near these greenways and work at or near NC State or Downtown Raleigh, or anywhere along the route, this is for you. Or do you work from home and just want a friendly, casual morning ride? Join us!

You do not have to start at Lockwood Park. Hop on anywhere along the route and leave whenever you need. Ride the whole way or just a segment that fits your commute.

The pace is casual, around 12 mph. This is technically a “drop ride” so we can stay on schedule and arrive in Downtown Raleigh by 9:00 AM.

If you are picking up the bike bus along the route, please arrive a few minutes before the listed arrival time (see below).

Please come prepared with a working bicycle, water, and anything you need to stay comfortable and safe. A flat repair kit and helmet are strongly encouraged.

Weather: The ride will be canceled for freezing temperatures, snow or ice, active rain, flooding, or major trail damage or closures.

Trail maintenance closures: We will reroute when possible. Detours may add time. If there is no safe option or the closure is significant, the ride may be postponed. *** THERE IS CURRENTLY A TRAIL CLOSURE AT ROTHGEB PARK. WE WILL DETOUR ON MARLOWE RD AND PICK THE ROUTE BACK UP ON LASSITER MILL RD***

The Green Line Bike Bus is an Oaks and Spokes pilot. We hope to make it permanent and expand to more routes over time.
