Ride2School is a nationwide program delivered by Bicycle Network, designed to support schools to encourage, empower and enable more students to get physically active on their journey to school. The organisation says more than two-thirds of Australian school students are driven to school, despite the fact that children need 60 minutes of exercise every day to be healthy.
Ride2School launched it's Parent Portal, an online resource for parents who want to teach their children to ride or start riding to school independently.
