Did you know that only 20% of Australian students are active on their way to school compared to 80% during the 1970s*? Friday the 23rd March is National Ride2School Day and is a great opportunity for students, parents and teachers to ride, scoot, skate or walk to school. It is also a great time to think about how to incorporate more active time outside into our everyday lives and ways to travel in  more sustainable ways.

dirtgirlworld thinks it’s cool to travel by riding or walking, because it doesn’t use any fuel or power- just ‘me’ power! They have designed some fantastic bike flags that can be used not only for Ride2School Day but every day of the year.

Simply click twice on the flags you like below (the first click will bring up a small version, click again and it will bring up a large version) print them, paste them back to back then attach them to your bike’s flag pole/rod or just attach them to your bike.

Which flag is your favourite?
