Travelling in Style. The Elangeni School Cycle Train in Amersham 13/08/2010

Elangeni Primary School pupils in Amersham have been enjoying a new approach to travelling to school. Jane Hall of Amersham Cycle Training – a local Accredited Cycle Trainer and parent – has supported and trained volunteers to lead a Cycle Train from a residential area of Amersham approximately 3 miles to the nearby Elangeni School. The school has an extremely successful approach to cycling and it was encouraging to see the new bike shed completely full.

The Cycle Train currently runs once a week and showcases the easy, green and quick way of getting to and from school. The pupils showed confidence on the road and were highly visible in a group, affirming a ‘Safety in Numbers’ approach as demonstrated by the recent CTC campaign.

Bike Club is supporting the School’s cycling activities as they explore further creative activities like synchronised cycling and a bike recycling scheme. Along with volunteers, Jane has driven cycling at the school forwards and I look forward to seeing what they try next.
