Bike Club aims to build cycling into the daily lives of children, young people and their families.
A Bike Club can be about pretty much anything! BMX, mountain biking, getting from place to place, making films and websites about cycling, decorating your own bike as long as it has something to do with cycling, it can be a Bike Club!
Bike Club's main aims are to:
-
encourage young people to use cycling as a means of transport so they can take part in more activities beyond the school day
-
make cycling an important part of young people's lives - as recreation, sport, exercise, a `green' form of transport - and just for fun!
-
help children and young people to discover the freedom that cycling brings.
Bike Club supports youth groups, schools and young people themselves in organising cycling activities outside of the formal school day. Itis a joint initiative led by ContinYou, UK Youth and the CTC.
