On Friday morning, 26th April about 200 riders cycled to Aldersbrook School. The weather was kind and groups came from Warren Drive through Wanstead Park, from The Lake House estate to Northumberland Avenue and across Wanstead Flats from Forest Gate. Parents cycled with the youngest children and some of the older children cycled independently.
This event was to promote a national scheme to encourage groups to get together and organise group cycling to school. Read more about the initiative here. RCC fully support this initiative as it offers a safe and sustainable way of travelling to and from school. Apart from the obvious reduction in school run car journeys, it encourages and supports child autonomy and promotes healthy habits.
