More on bikes in Viernheim…
We wrote to the member of staff who runs the bike team and he summed up the thinking behind the idea better than we could:
"…teenagers onto their bikes instead of watching them wait for their parents to take care of even such simple things in life as going to school.
Viernheim is small enough to make them all go by bike. I hope that once they have tried and realized that it is quicker, more convenient, and most of all it makes you independent from your parents, pupils will continue to enjoy the comforts of a bicycle."
This is an example that others could follow.
