Bike to School Week: cycle training and cargo bikes

Bike to School Week supporter the Bikeability Trust runs training courses on cycling proficiency across England. Click on your nation below to find out more about bikeability courses where you live.

Cycling training teaches children – and adults – valuable skills to help keep everyone safe on the road, from getting your bike ready to ride to negotiating hazards like traffic lights and roundabouts.

Parents with young children can be put off cycling to school as space on a regular bicycle can be fairly limited. However, families up and down the country are increasingly using cargo and electric cargo (ecargo) bikes as an alternative to cars.

Cargo bikes can improve family wellbeing, and many have space to carry up to three children – so there’s room for everyone! What’s more, the large loading capacity of a cargo bike also allows families to do their local food shop in a much greener way.
