About us
The Cycling with Children subgroup of BIKEast advocates for better footpaths for bicycles, tricycles, scooters and prams, especially on routes to schools.
Cycling or walking to school reduces traffic congestion and air pollution at the gates and around the perimeters. It has short and long term health benefits for children (and parents/carers too) as well as being good for our climate.
