THE MAP

– is designed to encourage safe and pleasant journeys to school by bike, promoting student cycling in Tower Hamlets

– is intended to reassure inexperienced cyclists, and their parents

– features routes that are traffic-light colour-coded (from green for easy off-road, to red for advanced busy roads) to show the level of cycling experience required. Most routes are green and amber

– can be easily written on and customised, and comes with suggestions for doing so. This makes for an interactive map and allows it to be easily used in an educational context

– features useful information for young bikers: cycle groups, bike retailers and workshops are included, plus tips on safe cycling

– looks like no other, printed in hi-vis yellow, its bright and attractive yet minimal design prevents information overload

– is printed on recycled paper, supporting cycling's environmental credentials

– has been created with the support of Tower Hamlets council and Sustrans' Bike It scheme, which works to promote cycling in schools

The printed map, including a larger version for noticeboards, will be delivered to local schools throughout June.

If you have any comments or suggestions for how to improve the map then please let us know.
