About this activity

Suitable for primary and secondary schools.

NB: We’re bringing together all the TfL education programmes, including STARS, under one exciting new umbrella programme called TfL Travel for Life. They will be the same great programmes but with a new name and a new look, easier online process and dedicated support team. STARS for primary schools will be renamed TfL Explorers. STARS for secondary schools will be renamed TfL Pioneers

Cycling clubCycling club

Cycling clubs bring together those who already cycle to school, as well as offering an incentive to get others to start using their bikes. A cycling club is an opportunity to involve your whole school and its wider community in active, healthy activities and trips. 

Your club may also benefit from the Pool scooter and cycle initiative.

Running the activity

Your club can bring together cycling enthusiasts new and old to organise games, races and cycle trips, take part in cycle training and maintenance sessions, improve the school’s cycling facilities, and more.

For a step-by-step guide on how to establish a club, guidance, advice and case studies, take a look at the TfL Cycle Club toolkit.

You can run your cycle club for a full term or over the whole academic year. The spring/summer term is ideal thanks to lighter evenings.
