As Businesses go I do not waste much paper, but I want to improve on all my environmental costs. In the past I used to give out these questions printed on paper, and I now feel that this was a awful waste. It could have been here on line. Cycle homework questions were always about getting the child to look at the children's Highway Code book, Tales Of The Road. I have copies of this if you would like, but it can be seen here in PDF format


Tales Of The Road

If your child reads the cycling, signs and road markings pages they should get all the answers to all these questions. Some of the questions are a bit tricky. At the end of each question I have a link to the answer. It would be good if you could do this with your child or a small group of children could do it together, as it is the discussion that will help them understand.
