A network of cycling and walking groups have launched ‘Get To School On Your Own Fuel’ campaign.
All through summer 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, children have been out cycling in their local neighbourhoods, going to parks, meeting friends, and enjoying the freedom and fresh air.
With the return to classrooms in September, cycling and walking groups around the country are highlighting the opportunities for more children and students to cycle, walk, scoot or skate safely to school.
Promotions will also take place in many locations, with opportunities to get bicycles checked by qualified mechanics, as well as taking part in a national scavenger hunt competition.

The tour begins at the famous Molly Malone statue, it’s a lively 90 minutes full of songs and stories.
