National Ride2School Day

National Ride2School Day is an annual event in Australia that encourages students to walk, ride, scoot or skate to school.

The event, organised by Australia's Bicycle Network, takes place on Friday 21 March 2025, and aims to inspire children, families, and schools to embrace active transport.

In addition to promoting physical health, Ride2School Day highlights the environmental impact of car travel and encourages students and their families to consider greener transportation options.

• Road safety awareness
  The event emphasises the importance of road safety by teaching children safe practices when cycling.
• Community building
  The day fosters a sense of connection among students, families, and schools, as they work together to promote a healthier and more active lifestyle.
