Bike Right in Liverpool City Region
Bike Right have been working with Liverpool City Region for 15 years, delivering the areas Bikeability programme (the largest in the country) and other cycling activities from our office and workshop in Bootle.
Our activities in the region are managed by our local office team and delivered by a large squad of instructors working locally with primary, junior and secondary schools, providing Learn to Ride, Combined Level 1&2 Bikeability and Level 3 sessions. Our Bootle office is home to our main operations team for contracts in the North West and Midlands as well as the main workshop for our fleet of bikes.
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. Fewer cars also means less pollution
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
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 - good habits learned young are learned well. Teaching children to cycle safely to school will stand them in good stead for the rest of their life
Socialising and independence - cycling together with others means that children will 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.
