Bike It Sample Clauses

Bike It. The case study describes the procedure we are planning to follow in the development of the school travel plans which are at the core of our “To school! Without my car!” subtask. Our disadvantage is the fact that the programme described is organised at the national level, which provides it with more financial and professional support. However, we also plan to introduce the incentives and organise similar events, based also on the experience of our former EMW events (“Travelling around the world in seven days” and “Southward bound” – virtual cycling trips).

Bike It. We will start a similar activity this spring in schools and I think it is very necessary if we would like to change our environment in the future. As for Tartu, we don’t have enough safe bicycle stands in schools and housing areas. We will meet school directors and we will discuss how we can make it better and how we can organise more traffic lessons in schools and teach children how to ride bicycles more safely. We have meant to organise such campaigns also, how parents can ride bicycles together with their children to school. This idea needs large sponsorship and that is a difficult question.

Bike It. In some aspects, Bike It is quite similar to the Traffic Snake Game. However it has some specific elements, like eliminating the fears (of parents) linked to cycling. We also give much importance to this issue and we have been taking care of it in the past years. It will be handled also during our application in Budapest, although most probably not in Active Access itself but in parallel projects. Bike It is also a good example showing the importance of before and after surveys.

Bike It. We could propose the idea to schools that have already developed the walking bus and which have a safe cycle path nearby. We could also use the idea to organise, during the mobility week, an event with schools and with road safety services (sécurité routière); to teach children how to behave on a bike on the streets: it will be a kind of human scale platform game representing roads and accredited staff will teach the children and so on.

Bike It. The aim of “Bike It”, to create a cycling culture to schools that will continue after the completion of the project is in line with the objectives of our planned activities in Cyprus. All the activities described in the process section are examples of activities that could be organised in any school in Cyprus. In particular, explaining the advantages of cycling in class, holding session with local authority, parents and other stakeholders, involve the school and local authorities in an ongoing dialogue on how to improve the cycling infrastructure at their school and the surrounding area. Furthermore, other ideas that could be implemented are the training bike abilities to school and the bonus system for increased bicycle use.
