Pedal Pack

Free pedal pack for parents and teachers to run Bike to School Weeks

This free downloadable resource, produced by Sustrans, is intended to help parents and teachers organise cycle to school events to encourage children to take to two wheels and enjoy a green, healthy and independent way of getting around.

Research shows that just 15 minutes exercise a day can halve a child's risk of becoming obese - cycling to school can be a great way of building exercise into children's daily routine. And with 20% of traffic at 8.50 on a school day morning coming from the school run, it will also help to ease congestion at the school gate. Plus we know that children who cycle to school arrive more alert and ready to learn - it really is better by bike.

Sustrans draws on ten year's experience working with schools to create this information resource, full of tips and advice on how to get in gear organising a cycle to school day or week.
