RACV and Bicycle Network
RACV and Bicycle Network have teamed up to provide Ride2School’s Bike Ed program, aimed at promoting active lifestyles and road safety awareness among Victorian primary school students, with RACV investing $200,000 as part of the two-year partnership.
Ride2School will focus on supporting students in the northwest and southeast of Melbourne to develop safe bike riding skills that encourage them to ride to school.
The Ride2School program launched yesterday at Doherty’s Creek P-9 College in Truganina, with 175 students taking part in a special assembly that also unveiled a fleet of 12 Giant bicycles, funded by RACV, and helmets donated by Lazer.
As part of the launch Dr Cranky’s Bicycle Hospital will provide onsite bike maintenance to ensure students have access to safe and well-maintained bicycles.
Bicycle Network CEO Alison McCormack welcomed RACV’s support for Ride2School’s Bike Ed, a beloved Victorian program that has supported thousands of students in Victoria for almost two decades.
