Bike It
We know that millions of children want to cycle to school in this country - yet only 1% do. Sustrans has stepped in to sort this out with Bike It, a ground-breaking project which has already quadrupled the number of children cycling to its target schools.
* Teachers say Bike It has transformed their schools. Children are energised, excited, ready to learn and travelling safely and independently.
* Everyone loves the empty car parks and full bicycle sheds.
* Local authorities enjoy the success of Bike It in their areas which has attracted the praise and attention of many Government ministers and national newspapers and TV.
* Parents know we are offering something really positive for their child and many join in our bike events and school projects. Many help to run bike clubs and are keen to pick up information on safe cycling and help their child to receive cycle training in school. All trust us to do everything we can to help their child towards a healthier, happier journey to school.
