Installing conveniently accessible cycle storage at your school is critical in encouraging students to cycle their bikes to and from school every day. Although it may appear to be a significant undertaking, the advantages of implementing Two Tier Bike Racks storage greatly exceed the costs.
It will encourage students to ride their bikes to school
Providing bike storage will encourage students to dust off their bikes, grease up their gears, and start cycling to school. With little incentive to do so, students will be less likely to make this option independently. However, you’ll see how many of your students embrace the concept with a bit of encouragement and a gentle push in the right direction.
It emphasises physical activity as part of a healthy, active lifestyle
According to an NHS survey, 28% of children aged 2 to 15 in England were overweight or obese in 2016. An update to a previous action plan was published in June 2018. It set a national ambition to “halve childhood obesity and reduce the obesity gap between children from the most and least deprived areas by 2030.”
As a result, now is the perfect time to promote the advantages of exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle. As opposed to sitting motionless in a parent or caregiver’s car. It will also aid in improving pupils’ cardiovascular fitness and general health.
Instilling the fundamental need for everyday physical exercise in your students will benefit them for a long time to come. It will guarantee that our future adults are conscious of their decisions about their health and wellness.
Two Tier Bike Racks alleviate congestion at the school gates
The number of cars that congregate at school gates during drop-off and pick-up times is a major issue in schools across the country. This is not only unhealthy for students, but it also causes unnecessary stress for parents. Especially those who struggle to find a parking spot and commuters who become agitated by the increased traffic.
By encouraging students to cycle to school, the need for parents to drive to school disappears, and traffic at the school gates reduces, benefiting students, parents, the community, and the environment.
