BIKE TO SCHOOL WEEK
21 - 25 October 2019
Bike to School Week is a free, fun, week-long celebration for students who have taken part in Pedal Ready training.
All Pedal Ready trained schools are invited to join in Bike to School Week 2019 from 21-25 October.
If your school is on board, contact us to arrange great prizes for students taking part!
Students can take part individually or as a school or group.
School participation in Bike to School Week enhances sustainability curriculum, builds community, and highlights the benefits of active transportation - like less congestion and healthy, energised students.
