Schools and parents across the UK are being invited to take part in the 2019 Bike to School Week, which takes place this month.
Organised by Sustrans and supported by the Bikeability Trust, Bike to School Week celebrates the benefits of travelling actively for children.
The 2019 edition, which uses the hashtag #BikeToSchoolWeek on social media, takes place between 23-27 September.
There is a range of resources available to support schools, including posters, a five-day pack of daily activities and a video guide with simple tips to check a bike is safe to ride.
These activities aim to inspire pupils to think about their journeys to school, understand the benefits of active travel, and consider the causes and effects of air pollution.
Avanti Cycling is supporting the campaign with an offer to train teachers and parents - at any time of year. The training would help build up the confidence of adults who haven't ridden in a while. Please get in touch.
