Bike Right Birmingham
Bike Right are now delivering Bikeability in six areas of Birmingham, including; Hall Green, Selly Oak, Edgbaston, Northfield, Ladywood and Perry Barr.
Our activities are managed and delivered by a team of Birmingham instructors working locally with primary and secondary schools and community groups across these areas.
Some of the benefits of a child cycling to and from school:
Quieter, safer roads - having fewer cars around school makes it safer for parents and children to walk or cycle on their journey to and from school.
Fitness and health - children need at least an hour of physical activity each day, and walking or cycling to school is a great way to get some of that exercise.
Improved Air Quality - there are also concerns about the level of pollution children are exposed to when sitting inside cars in congested or slow-moving traffic. When planning a cycling journey to school, it may be possible to find a route that is quiet or traffic-free, and cycling through green spaces such as parks can make you feel calmer and happier
Concentration at school - children who are physically active on the way to school burn off some of their excess energy and are more able to settle down and focus well in lessons
Road-safety skills - Teaching children to cycle safely to school will stand them in good stead for the rest of their life and help when they become drivers
Socialising and independence - cycling together with others will enable children to have extra time in the day to build friendships and feel comfortable around other people
We book schools at least a term in advance so please get in touch ASAP if you want to secure specific dates.
