Recently, it’s been fantastic to see an increase in the number of families taking up walking, cycling and scooting. But we know that changing the way we travel can raise a lot of questions.

If you would like to get involved – you can help at an I Bike session or become a regular volunteer. Get in touch with your school or contactIBike@sustrans.org.uk
