More info: http://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/search/label/school%20trips%20by%20bike It's very normal in the Netherlands to see large groups of school children cycling together. School classes use their own bicycles to travel to sports facilities as well as to visit places of interest such as museums, forest and city centres. It's safe for this to happen because there is a comprehensive grid of cycling infrastructure which covers the country: http://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/search/label/the%20grid This simultaneous green traffic light junction is a good example of safe infrastructure: http://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/search/label/simultaneous%20green http://www.dutchbikebits.com http://www.hembrowcyclingholidays.com http://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com

Moidag je fietsen kinderen.

I bet the students might get annoyed because the teacher will reprimand them if they run a red light.

Every school should encourage children to walk to school or ride a bicycle by providing safe places to lock and store bicycles and by supporting safe walking and biking paths that connect schools, homes and businesses. Kids would be healthier and get more exercise if parents stop driving them to school and bought them a bicycle.

Very inspiring videos!

How worried about liability would a school be about using bicycles to get from school to the field trip location? In the US and Canada, and probably most of the western world, they would want to use a bus so that they could limit any liability.

Verkeersexamen?

I once heard about an American family having lived in the Netherlands for years. The father was called back to the US by the company he worked for. His teenage children couldn't adept to the American way of life anymore, They felt imprisoned coz of not being able to go where they wanted by bike. As for the parents, they soon got tired of having to take their kids everywhere by car.
