Since the installation of our bike / scooter shelter, courtesy of Doing R Bit, at Swallownest Primary School, we have noticed a clear and significant increase in the number of children who are biking and scooting to school.

In previous years, some children have ridden or scootered to school, only for their parents to have to then carry home. Having this facility now enables our children to travel to school in an active way while also having a safe and secure spot to store their transport.

Over the last few years, we have accessed Bikeability training, only for the children to not be able to bike to school due to these storage issues. This now removes this issue.

In terms of the process for installation, it couldn’t have been simpler. A date was arranged and everything was taken care of by Dave and the staff at Doing R Bit. In the space of a few hours, our amazing new shelter was erected and ready to go!

We are so pleased to have been selected to receive the shelter and are so encouraged to see how our children are engaging with it. We would highly recommend Dave Spencer and Doing R Bit to anyone who is considering something similar for their school.
