Fund access to bicycles for children so they can live active and healthy lives

What the petition asks
We want the Government to fund access to a bicycle for every child so they can be active and more healthy.
We believe this is important so children can be more active and healthy. Healthy children are less likely to go to the doctors so we think this could reduce NHS waiting times and the strain on them. Riding a bicycle is better for the environment. It may also reduce traffic around schools that could reduce the chances of accidents.
We think bicycles are a great way to travel because they are faster than walking and doesn't use up fuels.
