A brand new Cycle Club is being run in the Easter holiday. It’s for Primary 6 and 7 pupils with the aim of encouraging young people to cycle more and to think about how they will travel to secondary school.
The venue is the Royal High School and priority is being given to pupils from its feeder primaries (Blackhall, Cramond, Clermiston and Davidsons Mains).
The four day event will run from Monday 31 March to Thursday 3 April, from 9.30am to 3pm each day.
The sessions have been organised by Maggie Wynn of ChangingPace, and will be delivered by qualified cycle trainers.
The course will develop cycling and bike maintenance skills at the school and also on rides each day along Edinburgh’s cycle path network and quiet roads. Education and fun – as would be expected from the people who recently developed and delivered Bicycle Fun Days at the same primaries!
The cost for the 4 days is £50, and the children will receive a goody bag worth £10 that includes a Spokes cycle map, puncture repair kit and water bottle.
Places limited – to reserve a place call Maggie Wynn now on 0131 332 3442 or 07914 727018 or email maggieATchangingpace.info

What a brilliant idea – I hope these Fun Days will be rolled out across Edinburgh and that the Royal High event will be repeated next year!
As a school cycle trainer, it is clear that many children simply do not get enough cycling experience – more activities that build cycle skills and cycling confidence need to be made available.
