There was an interesting andpositive article on cycle training in
schools in today's Telegraph Weekend section, too, but I couldn't find
it in the online edition.

The school just around the corner from me, gives the children cycling
classes.

Thanks.

I was a little disappointed that the newspaper article didn't say
more. Two of the children who were on that 15 mile ride were complete
novices 10 weeks earlier. Of the £4280 "cash handout" £1680 was for
bikes, bits, spares and maintenance so that those children who did not
have access to a bicycle would have access to cycle training. £2400
was to free me from the classroom for an afternoon per week. That
£2400 will pay for about 100 children to have on-road cycle training
to level 2, and, of those, about 20 children will have training to
level 3. At just £24 per child for a 13 hour course it is excellent
value for money.

Of course, I also rely heavily on volunteers and the support of a
great many people, and they should not be forgotten.

Congrats, Tilly. And that's your cover blown now, for good.

Morning had broken, and I found when I looked that we had run out
of copper roove nails.

"They took part in the bike ride after being handed £4,280 by
Transport for London under its Cycle London Promotion Partnership."

This sounds a lot like a junior pub crawl after winning the lottery 🙂

This is some very nice news

Sounds like a junior version of a pub crawl 🙂

It is a nice thing to read.
