🌟 Brighter Roads Ahead for Our Young Cyclists 🚲💡It was a pleasure to welcome John Skevington to speak with members of the Rotary Club of Bishopdale Burnside recently. John shared insights from the inspiring initiative featured in AA Directions magazine, “Brighter Roads Ahead.”The mission is simple but powerful — helping keep school children safe by providing bike lights to those who need them. 🚸✨ With more young people cycling to school, visibility on our roads is vital, especially during darker mornings and afternoons.John’s passion for improving road safety and supporting our community’s tamariki was truly motivating. This initiative is a reminder of how small actions — like a simple bike light — can make a big difference in protecting young lives.👏 A big thank you to John for his engaging presentation and to all involved in making our roads safer for the next generation.#Rotary #ServiceAboveSelf #RoadSafety #BrighterRoadsAhead #CommunityCare ...
