A significant proportion of parents who participated in the Spokes Weans on Wheels project last year asked about support with getting their children cycling independently, for transport ultimately as well as for fun. The new factsheet focuses on the practical aspects of everyday cycling with children old enough to cycle on their own bikes, and aims to encourage more families to think about everyday cycling.
It's available in electronic and printed versions:
(a) - From Spokes stalls at summer events (e.g., the Bike Breakfast on Wed 20 June, and every month at the Edinburgh Farmers' Market (Saturdays at Castle Terrace)
(b) - Direct from Spokes: email familycyclingATspokes.org.uk, or send an SAE to Spokes, c/o St Martins Church, 232 Dalry Rd, Edinburgh EH11 2JG.
(c) - Download it from the Spokes website [prints as 4 A4 pages] - see http://www.spokes.org.uk/wordpress/2012/06/factsheet-how-to-get-your-child-cycling/#more-4076
Feedback and suggestions for further topics to cover would be very welcome - email familycyclingATspokes.org.uk.
If you have good ideas for using the factsheet - e.g., with a youth group keen to get children cycling, or through a school - please do contact us.
