CTC believes that all children should have the right to cycle to school.

There are many excellent programmes designed to promote cycling to children – such as Bikeability and Bike Club.
But there remains a persistent problem - many children are unable to cycle to school because:
-
they don’t know how
-
their parents would rather drive them
-
they don’t have anywhere to keep their bike
-
their school actively discourages this mode of transport
It is especially frustrating when children who have received
Bikeability cycle training and whose parents are supportive of cycling are unable to cycle because their schools forbid them from bringing their bikes onto school grounds … or just forbid them outright.
In response to these concerns, CTC has produced a
campaigning kit to help persuade reluctant schools to allow cycling. .
