Why Cycle?
- Cycling is so much faster than walking, meaning you can get to school in half the time – that means more time in bed!
- You’ll get fit – cycling is one of the best forms of exercise you can get.
- Cycling is good for the planet – bikes don’t pollute the air with exhaust fumes, the only energy they use is pedal power!
- Cycling gives you loads of freedom – you can pop round to a mate’s house without having to wait for a lift.
- More children cycling will lead to improved health and fitness, reduced congestion and pollution and hopefully even more Olympic champions!
- There’s a brand new world for you to discover when you get in the saddle, whether you’re cycling to school or riding around in your free time with your mates.
- Cycling at least twenty miles a week reduces the risk of heart disease to less than half that for non-cyclists who take no other exercise.
- Kids who cycle are more confident, more independent and perform better at school!
- Because it’s fun and it’s free – what more do you need!
