Craigroyston Community High School

Craigroyston and Chain Reaction
Craigroyston gets involved with ‘Chain Reaction’ – a programme of cycling activities delivered by young people in North Edinburgh. The project is helping local people move away from car use towards active travel, reducing carbon emissions and tackling climate change while also improving health. Chain Reaction is delivering cycle training, bike maintenance, guided rides and providing affordable year round workshop facilities for public use to encourage the move towards travel by bike.

The young people running Chain Reaction are supported by social enterprise MyAdventure which delivers high quality outdoor and adventure activities as well as training and bike mechanics. Watch how Craigroyston gets involved here.
