15 years ago, when I started as school principal, only ten students went to school by bike…
Today is the first day of term, and our expanded bike sheds are almost full – 150+ ⬇️
It’s healthier, cheaper, faster, greener and – with the right route chosen – safer too: @sustrans @WeAreCyclingUK pic.twitter.com/DxQPy5gzfh

Robin Bevan, the headmaster of Southend High School for Boys, triumphantly shared this picture of the scene in his school’s expanded bike shed on the first day of a new term. The lockers were full, and Bevan proudly remembers that when he started as principal, only ten students rode to school.
“15 years ago when I started as principal, only ten students rode to school,” Bevan shared on Twitter. “Today, first day of term, and our expanded bike sheds are almost full – over 150. It’s healthier, cheaper, faster, greener and – with a good route chosen – safer too. “
It’s fantastic.
