Survey Reveals Just 2% of UK Pupils Currently Cycle to School
Figures released by Sustrans to mark this year’s Bike to School Week reveal that only 2% of children cycle to school, but many more wish they could.
Sustrans commissioned a UK-wide YouGov survey of 1,305 children aged 6-15 to find out about their journey to and from school. The survey found that just 2% of pupils actually travel by bike, but 14% would like to.
Figures also found that, whilst only 2% of UK children currently scoot to school, 10% would like to.
49% of children said they are worried about air pollution near their school. Over half (57%) describe the environment around their school as having too many cars.
