@SamUpstate @bikenite A2. I think BikeBusWorld has a good summary:

I wrote this a long time ago when I first started one but it is dated:

There's a giant many many paged PDF from Alameda County Safe Routes to School that goes into tons of detail but it might make it scarier than it really is.
I think the most basic thing is to consistently ride it and look for families who are already riding and get them to do it with you.
Then find friends of kids who are riding or people who see you (always be talking about it or give people an easy way to join in) and ride with them
For safety of kids, we have adults ride in the front, back and middle. We ride through a fairly busy street that we can't avoid, and we just take the lane. The middle adult(s) kind of keep kids on the right side of the road so they don't cross the double-yellow as necessary.
