Youth \ other cycle schemes

Watcha all,

I work in secondary school and want to encourage both students and staff to get onto their bikes. Out of about 1400 pupils, I regularly see 4-5 kids on bikes... Staff is a bit better with a hard core of 5 everyday come rain or shine and another 5 or so fair weather cyclists.

I've got a number of idea's, but wanted to see if there's anything else you might have heard of, or if you know of funding for any of these projects...

Idea's so far...

For the students:-

• Bike parking (currently kids lock bikes to a fence)
  
• Training (Bikeability seems to be the latest thing)
  
• Publish 'safer' routes based the national cycle routes
  
• A series of basic maintenance course (would try to get LBS involved)
  

• Incentives (kids are greedy, but what / how?)
  For the staff:-

• Secure bike parking away from kids bikes (currently I use a lockup, which is fine, but some teachers keep the bikes in there rooms)

• Changing facilities (showers, lockers)

• Bike to Work scheme
  This is all very early days, so I'm including everything I can think of. I'm after anything that would get more adults or kids on bikes safely.
