We shall see Nick. There is still a lot of anti biking prejudice around. Common sense tells me they should be applauding the lad for wearing all the correct safety equipment. ;)
[/highlight]

I would argue that the school should be providing appropriate storage room for such equipment.
As said, see what the Head has to say, via the governors, and I like the MCN idea...... :y

If it is mentionned in the school rules that biking equipment cannot be brought into school then I would be petitionning the head as to the reasons why.  If he doesn't give a satisfactory response I would go to the local paper and the board of governors.

If it is not in the rules I would write a polite but stern letter to the head and send a copy to the local rag and board.

So would they rather he ride to school without wearing the sensible protective clothing ;)


I know my old school tried to ban riding motorbikes to school, just because they didn't like motorbikes.

I read all this with much interest as I was one of those lads who just wasn't quite old enough to have a moped at school :'(But the 4 lads who were old enough,used to park at my Secondary in Chesham alongside the staff cars at the front of the school. IIRC they too had to walk the bike to the gates and then start them up at the end of day,but could ride them in.A small price to pay for the freedom and it worked.Killjoys and nannying nonsense is what's to blame here. ::) >:(

What if he rode a pushbike into school and insisted on bringing a helmet, reflective gear, lights, etc into the school? Would he meet the same attitude?

Well I have had a reply. It is very vague just mentioning health and safety and that they are worried the helmet etc may get damaged on school property. I think they  are more worried what damage he could do to someone with the helmet, but they will not actually say that.

So I have replied saying I take full responsibilty for damage to his equipment. And that he will continue using his bike until they can furnish me with a plausible reason for him not using it.

I also mentioned that some schools actually supply moped parking, again no answer to this.

We will see what tomorrows email says.

Very good point Kevin. If they dont apply the same rule to pushbikes in order to avoid cycling helmets getting damaged while on school premises, then its hard to imagine any explanation other than bias against motorcycles which they dont want to admit to. :y

If they ride a bicycle, then they have to wear a cycle helmet so I presume people are bringing them into school.
