Bike It Crews
A small group of responsible, cycle-mad pupils from mixed higher years, or a few members of the school council or Eco group can take on this role.
Bike It Crews encourage peer-to-peer engagement. It's a fun and engaging way to spread important messages and build skills for life.
They are responsible for promoting walking, cycling or scooting to school, a massive help to school champions and could:
Assist or lead road safety assemblies
Conduct bike/scooter counts or other travel surveys
Give talks on their passion for cycling, scooting or walking
Run competitions like Prize Bag
Help plan future events
Weekly or fortnightly bike & scooter counts
We can use this data to:
take yearly averages
track % of bike and scoot rack capacity used
compare months/seasons
measure the success of an event or competition
Ask your school champion to help set up a Bike It data account that will send the counts straight to us:
