As part of this initiative, a total of 10 schools throughout Germany will each receive 15 bicycles for their own needs. The idea behind the concept of "School Bike" is to provide sustainable support for cycling at German schools.
The comedian and TV presenter, Wigald Boning, is assuming the patronage of the campaign. In order to win the set of 15 bicycles, schools can apply on the website of the German Cycling Club (www.radclub.de).
For this purpose, interested parties must complete a questionnaire and send it by e-mail, fax or post to RadClub Deutschland in Bielefeld. The closing date for entries is Sunday, 24 July 2011.

For more cycling culture in Germany
The award for the 10 most bicycle-friendly educational facilities forms the start of a long-term project: with the support of numerous sponsors, several hundred bicycles are to be sold at a special price to schools throughout Germany in the years to come.
The prototype of the "school bike" is already rolling off the production line. It excels with safety features and trendy accessories. The professional maintenance of the bikes handed over as part of the project will be performed by specialised dealers who have got together in a purchasing cooperative under the trade name Bike & Co.
The "Fahrrad Essen" has developed in recent years into a world of popular cycling experience and the most important fair platform of this branch in NRW. The products on offer for children and youths is also great. With the "School Bike" project, the fair is backing up its commitment to young, cycling enthusiasts. Cycling, learned properly, is important and promotes two very important things: clever traffic participants and active climate protection.
