About Love to Ride

Empowering schools and students to make a positive environmental impact through sustainable transportation choices.

Our mission

Let's make every trip to school safe, fun, and healthy.

Love to Ride motivates parents and students to choose sustainable ways to get to school by making it easy, fun, and rewarding.

Making every trip count

Through an engaging, challenge-based platform, schools can make active travel easy, fun, and rewarding. Students track their journeys, celebrate progress, and build everyday habits—from biking and walking to scooting and public transport.

Every trip counts. And together, those small choices add up to cleaner air, healthier students, and lasting behaviour change that extends far beyond the school gate.
