On Your Bike Wigan

We've teamed up with @BikeRightUK to encourage secondary school students to #GetOnBoard and cycle to school. 🚴 We're running four courses around Greater Manchester this Easter, open to any student in Year 7 or above who lives or studies in GM. Click here for details. 👇

Riding a bike isn't only good for your physical health, it's fantastic for your mental health too! The exercise encourages the release of endorphins, and being outdoors helps the mind to calm as we soak up some much-needed sunshine. #LoveToRide #BikeIsBest

This year the #BigWalkAndWheel saw a record-breaking 2.6 million active journeys to school!🥳 The challenge may be over, but that doesn't mean walking, wheeling, scooting & cycling to school has to stop. Let's keep making a change by choosing an active school run all year round.

The @Sport_England #TacklingInequalitiesFund has been an absolute game changer for our Community Cycle Clubs in the North West of England this year, enabling groups to restart activity post-pandemic and get more people pedalling by breaking down barriers🚲

The Dutch made 4.8 billion bicycle trips in 2019, covering 17.6 billion km, or 1,019 km per person. Women cycle more than men, kids cycle more than adults, and older adults (65+) cycle more than young adults. english.kimnet.nl/publications/p…
