Pupils and parents have been celebrating Cycle to School Week in Worcester.
Group bike rides in aid of safer cycling conditions – called Kidical Mass events – took place in Worcester on Sunday (September 24) and 33 other towns and cities across the UK, the most ever held in a single weekend.
Cycle to School Week runs from September 25-29 and encourages families to choose the eco-friendly, economical way of getting to class.
Worcester now has 10 Bike Bus routes to primary schools – groups of children and parents cycling together, with volunteer leaders at the back and front to ensure safe departure and crossings.
Hannah Faddy-Wiedmann, a maths teacher and mother-of-two who leads one route, said: “It’s a positive thing to do – it’s not just moaning. Here’s a small change we’ve made, even within the constraints.”
Salon owner Georgie Robinson got back into cycling for the first time since she was at school so she could accompany her six-year-old on his new bike.
