Hillside Bike Bonanza

 

Beat the parking hassles and traffic jams. Cycle safely with your child - at any age.  Hillside Travel Group can lend you a

quality child seat, trailer or trailer bike – FREE!  Use it for the school run, trips to the shops or days out.  The more the better!

 

In our latest survey, 37% of children at Hillside said they would like to cycle to school.  With the right equipment, even cycling

with young children can be easy and fun.

  We have

                                                       

child seats (for 1-4 years)        trailer bikes (for 4-9 years) - child pedals!        child trailers (for 2-6 years) takes 2 children

 

The equipment was bought with a grant from the Department for Transport. The aim is to encourage more children and

their parents to cycle. Some parents buy these items for themselves but others may not know what is available. And good

quality ones can seem expensive for only a few years of use.

 

If you want to try cycling to school with children, we want to hear from you. You will need your own bike. We will

help you fit the seat or trailer and ask for a deposit.  Preference will be given to those parents likely to make most use of the

equipment and those who travel furthest. Loans will be renewable each month. Further details of conditions on application.

 

Don’t delay – apply today.
