There are lots of things happening on 25th-29th April to encourage the whole school, pupils and staff alike, to get more active and on their bikes.
Here is the line-up:
Monday 25th April – Dr Bike from the Bike Station doing free bike checks
Pupils can bring their bike for a free bike check. They must sign up at school by the end of Thursday 21st April and bring along their bike before school starts on Monday 25th April. They will be given a label and the mechanic will be able to write any advice on the other side. Bikes will be ready to pick up after school. Dr Bike, the mobile cycle mechanic, will be setting up his stand, offering free bike safety checks, giving some advice on cycle safety, bike maintenance and bike facilities in Edinburgh.
Tuesday 26th April– Bike fair and challenges in the Atrium at break and lunch
There will be stalls with giveaways, leaflets and maps. Pupils will be working for a pedal-powered smoothie on the smoothie-bike, or pit themselves against another pupil on the ‘Roller racing rig’.
Wednesday 27th April – lunchtime talks
Pupils and staff who already cycle are available to chat about cycling to school, being part of a bike racing club, or mountain biking. We’ll be talking kit, routes and much more.
Thursday 28th April – Cycle Speedway sessions at lunchtime and after school
Pupils are going to be racing each other in the downstairs gymn hall! Bikes will be provided.
Friday 29th April– Bike to school day, followed by Big Bike Breakfast.
Boroughmuir takes on the challenge of cycling to school. Staff members can meet pupils at pre-arranged places, show them a safer route to school, and demonstrate safe city cycling. If they cycle there will be a voucher given for a breakfast in the canteen, 7.30 – 8.20am.
