Bushfield Bike Bus fun in the sun

On one of MK's hottest days this year, pupils and parents of Bushfield School in Wolverton pedalled out on a circuit of the town picking up others on the way to school.

The children were rallied by the school's Head of PE, Ms Jade Jones (second from right below). MK Mayor James Lancaster joined the start of the ride (third from right below), as part of his mission to encourage more of the city's children to take part in sport and outdoor recreation, as did Cycling Citizens MK Co-chair Ann Shrimpton (first from right below).

Following cakes donated by Tea & Toast on Church Street, Wolverton, the ride set off with 10 children and parents.

"It's good to be part of this," said the Mayor. "I'm just pleased to be supporting children taking part in physical activity outdoors."

The school children (and adults) taking part, really enjoyed the ride - what a great start to the day.

If any more schools are interested in organising a Bike Bus - please get in touch with Cycling Citizens MK who can advise on the steps.
