“I get my energy up when I go on my bike, so when I get to school I’m a bit more ready for anything that’s going to happen, but when I go in the car, it’s just not as exciting.

"You come in and you feel a bit drowsy. You get into lessons and you’re still half asleep.” - Rowan.

You can help fund vital cycling skills sessions that make a huge difference to all the children that take part.

As well as cycling skills, these lessons empower them with confidence, perseverance and independence they will carry with them for the rest of their life.

Will you give now to help start a cycle of good for more children?

Many teachers have shared with us that for some kids, this active learning is the first time they succeed and get positive feedback in front of their classmates, building confidence and perseverance – skills that will always stand them in good stead.

By donating, you could help to provide more of our in-school training sessions, along with the essential equipment needed, to help teach children to ride a bike safely – starting a life-long, life-changing cycle of good.

Here’s how your support could make a difference:

• £10 could help fit new brake pads on a bike to make sure children are able to cycle safely.
• £20 could pay for a new balance bike to help a child learn to cycle – because from wobbly starts do skilled cyclists grow.
• £45 could fund a training session for teachers to use bikes with their students leading to lessons that everyone looks forward to.

Your support could help to start the cycle for many more children across the UK, giving them the skills, equipment and confidence to cycle safely.
