"I thrive on passing on my own enthusiasm for Physical Activity and Health and believe that cycling and walking" - Rory Coyle I Bike Officer Glasgow
Rory Coyle is our I Bike Officer for Glasgow. Rory is new to the I Bike Scotland team in 2017, coming from a background in sports coaching and teaching.
What are you looking forward to most in the role?
Schools are really positive and dynamic places to work in, especially as pupils are full of energy and always looking to learn new skill. I thrive on passing on my own enthusiasm for Physical Activity and Health and believe that cycling and walking are fantastic methods of tapping into the curriculum to contribute to a child’s development in a fun and exciting way. Active travel to school also promotes to pupils the value of the environment surrounding them, leaving them with a positive legacy as a future active traveller.
How are you delivering the project?
I’m trying to increase schools' capacity to integrate cycling, scooting and walking into as many areas of the curriculum as possible through the use of fun and accessible activities. Hopefully I’m giving teaching staff the confidence to work with cycling and walking in the future.
