Today Donal from Sustrans visited us to give us an insight into how young people from other European Countries travel to school. We watched video clips from children in England, France, Belgium and Holland. It was amazing to see how the towns have been adapted to support and promote bicycles as the best mode of transport, especially in Belgium and Holland. In Holland, the order of priority for road users is: pedestrians, cyclists, public transport and finally, private cars- very different to what we are used to in Northern Ireland! We then discussed the barriers to riding our bike to school and suggested ideas as to how these barriers could be overcome.
