Students and staff enjoyed a number of sustainability activities during Harrow College's Green Travel Day on 23rd April. The London Borough of Harrow, Westtrans, Dr Bike and Cycle King all took part in promoting a number of sustainable methods of travel. Cycling was highlighted as the most enjoyable way to travel with zero carbon emission.
"We hope to encourage students and staff to cycle to the college more frequently," said Claire Savaryn, Environmental Co-ordinator.
A mobile mechanic from Dr Bike, a national organisation, offered free bike check-ups to students and staff. While Cycle King, a local bike shop offered a number of generous discounts on bicycles and accessories.
The bike simulator challenge proved a popular activity with students competing to see who could cycle the fastest 1km.
Harrow cycle maps and details on the London Borough of Harrow free cycle training courses were also distributed.
