Bikes for high schools

We written before about the Albertus-Magnus-Schule in Viernheim here. The school took part in a competition organised by the Integrierte Verkehrs- und Mobilitätsmanagement Region Frankfurt and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Nahmobilität Hessen (two local government organisations in the field of mobility) last year. Both staff and schoolchildren were encouraged to cycle as far as possible. The school was second in the competition for the most kilometres and first in the competition for the most participants. It won 1250 Euro and invested this in five new bikes for the school bike pool. The bikes can be borrowed in case a class is going to baths in the centre of town or one of the club sports facilities. Already the bikes are well used. Congratulations are due to the school.
