St Joseph's Pupils get on their bikes!

Pupils from St Joseph’s Boys’ High School, Newry have got involved in a new cycle club at school to promote physical well-being and improve road safety.

Extended School’s coordinator Mr Brendan Fearon expressed his deep gratitude to Bridge End Bikes for their tremendous support with the project by benevolently donating free helmets and cycle equipment as well as providing the bicycles with significant discount.

This will ensure that as many pupils can benefit from the project as possible.

Mr Brendan O’Hare from Bridge End Bikes explained, that further to the provision of cycling resources, he would be offering pupils free cycling safety equipment once they visit the bike store. Cycle club leader Mr David Nolan explained that the new after school programme would encourage safer cycling in the community and result in greater awareness of the rules of the road.
