• bike and scooter skills training
• led rides, including transition rides to secondary school and college
• Dr Bike and bike maintenance training
• curriculum-linked sessions on active travel
• incentive schemes for classes and individuals
• various competitions such as inter-school competitions (Big Walk and Wheel)
• Be Safe Be Seen and other safety sessions
• bike powered smoothie maker and other fun sessions on active and healthy living
• sessions to encourage Year 6 pupils making the transition to secondary school to cycle and travel safely
