From Sustrans…

“Bike It has been hugely successful at its target schools, with five times more children cycling than the national average. It’s run by the UK’s leading sustainable transport charity, Sustrans, which is also behind the National Cycle Network, Liveable Neighbourhoods and Safe Routes to Schools amongst other projects. We believe that schools are at the core of a healthy, happy community, and our officers are highly trained and expert at working in a school environment. As well as tackling vital issues such as cycle training, storage, travel plans and parental involvement, our officers provide practical experience of cycling with many different kinds of events and activities – including tailored lessons linked to the national curriculum.

“Bike It” works alongside Eco and Healthy Schools awards and satisfies all kinds of government requirements on sustainability and school travel. It is also very highly regarded by Ofsted.

There are several different Bike it schemes – Visit the sustrans site below for full details… and get on your bike!
