National Ride 2 School Day WA is just around the corner on Friday 21 March 2025! It’s the perfect occasion to encourage your children to get on their bikes and choose the healthiest and most fun way to travel to school. 

Our Active Schools competition encourages schools to encourage more kids to take to their tredlies to get to school with a randomly selected school winning a Bike Fun Day (see below). Last year’s initiatives included bike buses, ride to school breakfasts, bike decoration prizes, bike checks, expanded car-free zones, manned crossings and more…

Participant schools are also eligible to win 10 free weekly e-bike rentals from Sparque and four $250 Ride 2 School Day WA breakfast vouchers. 

Riding to school not only benefits your children’s health and sense of independence, but also improves their concentration and academic performance.

On your bike kids!

2024 Ride 2 School Day WA Active School winner: St Peter's Primary School, Inglewood!
WestCycle is thrilled to announce St. Peters Primary School in Inglewood as the (randomly chosen) winner of our Ride 2 School Day WA 2024 Active Schools competition! 
 
More than 50 schools registered and launched actions to have more of their kids getting to school on bikes, scooters or on foot and reaping the brain, body and independence benefits that come with active travel! Not to mention safer streets with less vehicle congestion.
 
Feedback from St Peter’s and others showed an average of 45% of students riding, scooting or walking to school (up from the State average of about 25%) leading up to Ride 2 School Day WA.
 
Well done to all schools who took part and invested in a healthier and happier future across our State! We hope you’ll take up the Active Schools challenge this year!

Photo comp winner!

Congrats to Hayley Casarotto and family who won a shiny new bike plus kit from 99 Bikes as the winner of our 2024 Ride 2 School Day WA photo competition!
 
Hayley told us: “The cargo bike has literally changed our lives – feels a bit melodramatic to put it that way, but it’s completely changed the way we move around and engage with our neighbourhood.”
 
Every entrant received a prize from Bikelinc.
