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.
