Figures from Cycling UK tell us that only 2.2% of UK school children currently cycle to school despite the majority owning a bike. Encouraging young people to get into this hobby can be a great way to keep them active and cut down on their screen time, while potentially providing them with a healthy and convenient way of travelling to and from school or getting around in general.

Of course, it’s imperative that children and young people know how to keep themselves safe while riding from A to B, if we want to avoid the risk of injury or other unpleasant experiences that could discourage them from continuing with the hobby. That’s why #wakeupwednesday has put together this free guide, ready for Road Safety Week, which begins on 17th November to provide parents and carers with expert advice on teaching cycle safety to children and young people.
