On Monday and Wednesday we were fortunate to be joined by Dr Bike and Bognor Fire Station. They, along with the owners of Bradley Electrical had identified that there were a lot of children riding to our local schools without lights/visibility on their bikes, and they wanted to supply some lights for free as a safety initiative. They decided to take action and approached the school to help .
The Regis School students were given approximately 100 sets of lights by the Fire Service, and Dr Bike repaired over 20 bikes.
Below is a list of participants:
Bradley Electrical (£ 500 of lights donated )
Dr Bike ( WSCC travel wise ) approx 20 bikes repaired.
E watch Bognor fire Station 50 sets of lights donated.
Sussex safer Road Partnership team 50 sets of lights donated.
We are really thankful to all involved for helping keep our students safe on the road.
I am thankful for the Fire Service and ED, because they were at our school doing bike repairs and giving out lights because my bike was messed up. The wires were rusted and they redid my wires and gears and pumped up my tyres and now my bike is as good as new.

I’m so grateful because the fire crew and ED got my bike back to new. Before it got repaired, my bike’s brakes were nothing to be heard of and I didn’t feel safe on my bike but now its working perfect. I also got lights to help me see and also not get hit. I thank them so very much for what they did for not just me but other students too.
