National Ride2School Day will be celebrated on Friday 17th March 2017 and is the perfect opportunity for Australian students and school communities to embrace a healthier start and to try walking and riding to school.

Ride2School Day promotes active travel as a great way to get to and from school and helps children achieve their daily dose of 60 minutes of physical activity every day. Active travel includes all non-motorised forms of transport involving physical activity, such as walking, cycling, skating and scooting. Its a great way to get more activity into your day and is perfect for short trips. 

If your school isn’t registered for Ride2School Day that doesn’t mean you have to miss out, you can still join in on the fun with family and friends! 

The Ride2School program is more than just a day. Bicycle Network support over 2,500 schools around Australia, encouraging more students to ride, walk, scoot and skate to school through the Ride2School program. They work to support schools in breaking down the barriers that prevent more students staying active on the journey to school.
