Kid banned from cycling to school

School authorities continue to insist that cycling is too dangerous, and say Sam cannot bring his bike onto the premises. They have not taken up an offer from the council to provide cycle parking.

The governors of St Paul's Primary School recognise the positive benefits of cycling but do not encourage pupils to bring cycles to school for several reasons including safety, storage and access. The present situation is not ideal but the safety of pupils must come first. The situation is and will be constantly monitored.

seemed like they're just try to brush it under the carpet, in other word, the governers read too much daily mail and assume there's more death in cycling than walking/driving.
