For those of you interested in using ‘biking’ in the classroom, we’ve brainstormed the following:

• search the internet for the last 5 press-covered examples of people cycling from Land’s End to John O Groats, and discuss the successes, issues, and charities concerned;
• research accidents that cyclists experience on the road, discussing road safety and how to improve it;
• discuss whether biking is a true green alternative for commuters, and how business could assist employees using this form of transport more;
• research the timings of Tour De France ‘legs’ over the decades and discuss how technology and biology have developed to improve sporting performance.

If you have any other ideas that you have used in your classroom, please do share them!
