Wouldn't it be good if all schools had a bike track or cycling facility like the one I had built in the PRU school grounds that I work at in Aylesbury.
I know its not the first (as this is the second I have been involved in creating) but thought I would share as both tracks were built to help students re-engage in education. We also offer cycle maintenance as a qualification.
We help progress riding skills as part of positive engagement with health benefits, it also helps build student relationships & students with staff.
I've worked with many students with social, emotional and mental health issues and it has benefited them no end (one day I'll write a book on it).
Anyway! just thought I'd share and maybe gauge some feedback, also nice to know how many other schools have bike facilities and if it benefits them?

Possibly because it's a png and not a jpg?

Shocking. They could have sold the land and got a dozen houses in that space!

That looks great, the pru I used to work in were really big on outdoor education but we had nothing like that. Have heard another local school has a small xc loop that changes in difficulty depending which way it's ridden.
