The Happy Pod: All aboard the Bike Bus

We find out about bike buses - an increasingly popular way for children to cycle to school safely. They involve travelling in a large group, escorted by adults, and stopping for pick ups and drop offs along the way. The idea started in Spain and Portugal a few years ago, but has seen a recent boom - thanks in part to some celebrity supporters. Also: the woman who's been encouraging acts of kindness by spelling the word in a cycle route across the US states of Minnesota and Iowa. Nahla Summers also encouraged people to join her on her two seated quadricycle to talk about the importance of being kind. How the vaccine against HPV has almost eliminated cervical cancer among women in the UK. The professor whose memoir on losing her mother to dementia and her grief over climate change has won the highest prize in Caribbean literature. The dogs helping in the battle against an invasive species threatening crops and ecosystems in the US. Plus a moment of pure joy for Cape Verde fans at the FIFA Men's World Cup.
