How can you get kids to school safely in a way that\\u2019s good for the environment and gives them some exercise too? \\n \\nWe find out how kids from Spain to Scotland are joining together in long convoys known as \\u201cbike buses\\u201d. Teachers and parents accompany the joyful multitude of cyclists, which pick up children from pre-determined stops along the way.\\n \\nAnd in Kenya, we look at a different kind of transport problem. Motorcycle taxis are used all over the world, but converting them to electric has proved a challenge. \\n \\nBut a new kind of business in Kenya has found a neat solution. They\\u2019re hiring pre-charged batteries to the drivers so they can swap them without waiting around for a charge.
