- UCAN Cycle Maintenance Sessions – Students will be able to learn basic cycle maintenance techniques in order to keep their bike roadworthy and safe.
- Public Bike Repair Stand and Pump – We are installing a bike repair stand and pump in the student bike shed so students and staff can maintain their bikes and keep them road worthy.
‘We are really excited to be celebrating our summer of cycling throughout April, May and June. It is really important for students to know how to cycle safely and also take care of their bikes. The Big pedal campaign not only promotes eco travel, but it also celebrates health lifestyle, something we teach all our students here at City Academy Norwich’. Mr P Collin – Headteacher
‘We hope that they will help our students to have the confidence and knowledge to cycle safely on local roads. Also, we will be offering events where they can get their bike fixed by a professional cycle mechanic plus also the chance to learn how to fix their bikes’ Mr J Osborne, Head of Community Sport
