Bike to School Week

Bike to School Week is a week-long event across the UK to showcase the many benefits of cycling to school. It takes place from 28 September to 2 October 2020. And there's even an opportunity for one lucky pupil to win a fabulous prize.

Bike to School Week is a great opportunity to promote the positive impact that an active lifestyle can have on pupils' wellbeing and health.

It's free, there's no need to register, and it's a fantastic way to get warmed up ready for Sustrans Big Pedal in the spring.

Organised by Active Devon and supported by the Bikeability Trust, Bike to School Week celebrates cycling to school and the benefits of travelling actively for children.

To support schools throughout Bike to School Week, there's a range of resources available. These include:

• school posters
• daily activities to be completed in class
• a video guide with simple practices to check your 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.To find out more visit: https://www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/projects/2019/uk-wide/bike-to-school-week/
