A group of north Belfast parents are ensuring their children can ride to school safely while having fun.
For her, and many pupils and parents in north Belfast who gather together to cycle to school, it's fun and a way to "cycle alongside my best friend".
"The kids love it. I've had lovely feedback from the kids and parents who participate - even on rainy days," Meghan said."My best friend does it, so I like being with her and I like going places with her and cycling together," said Astrid. "It's intimidating thing to try to do on your own, especially with a child. So having that backup there is really phenomenal."
This is helping to reduce pollution and congestion on the streets around the school, he added, and also "provides an opportunity for those attending to chat to others, fostering new friendships".However, Meghan Hoyt would like to see the authorities in Northern Ireland do more when it comes to safe, cycling infrastructure that facilities children getting to school.
