Pedal Power at St Peter's
Welcome to this, our new section of the website which is all about promoting the benefits of cycling to school.
Here we hope to provide some information, advice, tips and hints from folks who already use their bikes which might help encourage you to try using your bike, even if it’s only once or twice a week.
To support the promotion of cycling to school, we are very pleased to be able to offer two FREE books (worth £4.95 each) about cycling to work and general advice on reducing your car usage. Of course, much of the advice is also valid for cycling on the school run too
The books have been donated to us by Worcestershire County Council. We have been lucky enough to secure the last of their stock of these books (40 copies of each book) which they will not be restocking in future due to budget cuts. To request your free copy (you can order one or both books if you wish) please complete the order form below and return it to the school office. The books will be distributed on a first come first served basis so please order early to avoid disappointment.
