More kids on bikes please

Perhaps we should ask Madeleine Sumner, MHDC transport officer, about this at the next Cycle Malvern meeting on Monday:

From Bike Radar “Sustainable transport charity Sustrans is providing free training for teachers, parents and other school representatives at events being held in England and Scotland today (6th March) to help boost healthy school travel.”

Not in Malvern this time round, but how about later in the year?

Reclaiming the streets for children

Probably not a lot new here for seasoned cycling and ‘living streets’ campaigners, but Play England have issued a report Seen and Heard: Reclaiming the public realm with children and young people which “aims to start a national debate on the room we leave for childhood in our public spaces”.

It wants to see a 20mph speed limit where streets are shared with children, amongst other things.

Kids on foot and bike

The theme for this year’s Road Safety Week, which runs 5th to 11th November, is the safety of children on foot and bicycles. The week is organised by Brake, the national road safety charity.
