WALKING BUS & CYCLE TRAIN

Standard

If your child is interested in joining the walking bus or cycle train, please email smpactivetravel@gmail.com or call Lindsay on 07781 431705.

The St Martin’s Cycle Train has been running for about four years now and has proved a very popular way for children to ride to and from school with their friends on Fridays … for anyone unfamiliar with how it works, adult volunteers ride at the front and back of each group which picks children up along one of several routes to school. It’s a great way for children to gain experience and confidence riding on the road, and they love the sense of independent travel. Although there’s no minimum age, it’s aimed primarily at children in Y4 and above: those taking part just need to be competent enough to ride accompanied on the road.

The walking buses have taken a few different routes over the years: the days and routes will depend on numbers and the locations of where participants live.

The cycle train and walking bus are practical, sociable and environmentally friendly ways to incorporate a bit more activity into the school day with all the benefits that brings to children’s health and concentration levels. Please get in touch by Wednesday 12th September if you have any questions, or to register your interest. Thanks!
