@rtenews: Nearly 80% of children never cycle to school despite their parents’ desire to spend less time in the car on the school run. When asked why cycling is not feasible, research from RedClick/Ireland Thinks found the leading reasons were the distance to school is too far at 54%, school bags are too heavy at 41%, unpredictable weather at 39% and a parent’s lack of confidence cycling with their children at 22%.

I cycled about 5km to and again from secondary school every day. School books may be lighter now, the weather is similar and I’d a uniform. The absolutely huge difference was there were only about 1/4 the number of cars on the road in Dublin in the 80s so although there were no cycle lanes the lighter traffic made things much safer. Also cycled to primacy school from around the age of 9 but that was ‘only’ a kilometer

Roads aren’t safe for kids (and lots of adults) to go on a bike. Especially outside Dublin. There are rarely any sidewalks at all.

I understand some of the points made but when I was in 5th year I used to cycle to school everyday and the uniform was no bother to cycle in
