Anyone writing or written a school travel plan for a primary school? Any thoughts appreciated.

We have an 'Action Plan', for the Primary school where I'm relief caretaker, covering everything
from half-days out to weeks away in Whitby ....

I'll see if I can get a copy tomorrow, though I'm not sure if it's electronic or paper, but I'll let
you know if you think it'll help in any way .. 😉

Anyone got any good ideas for amusing events with a cycling theme for children aged 5 - 11?

Are there any parents from the sort of firms that like a bit of a team challenge? If so you could
try a team bike build event. (Thinking off the top of my head here) Say a team of 4 racing against
the clock to put tubes and tyres on wheels, set up brake blocks, adjust handlebars and saddle
(possibly by measuring a random rider first) and perhaps other things finishing up with a ticklist
of ready-to-ride checks performed by the team.

This is becoming a real headache and has halted my cycling club running certain events. Perhaps one
possibility could be to run it was a listed Bike Week event where all registered events are covered
by the Bike Week insurance.

Another issue to consider is CRB clearance. Although I have it, anyone who helps me with cycling at
the local school must also have it and with the long time it takes to obtain it is _very_
off-putting.

Indeed. I am speaking to the local cycling bodies already. If it is run under the auspices of the
school, I think we're covered - but Dr Bike only diagnoses, and does not treat!

Good idea.

I already have it, but yes it is an issue. As long as people are not left unsupervised in contact
with children I think we are OK but this too is being pursued.

Have too many components for a complete bike, just to confuse them.
