Safety puts brake on cycling to school
Tuesday 2nd June 2009

A survey conduced by Cycling England found that only 1% of 9-11 year olds ride their bikes to school. Over a third claimed that their parents thought cycling was too dangerous and 29% felt that they did not have the skills to keep safe on the road. Despite this, over half thought that cycling was more fun than travelling by car and 80% enjoyed the exercise which left them more awake and ready for lessons.
