Did you have BMX envy or a roller boot rivalry? How did you get to school and how do your kids get there today?<\/h2>\n

With the long relaxed summer (well, relaxed from your kids\u2019 point of view) drawing to a close and the back to school rush is upon us, we\u2019ve taken a look at the favoured modes of transport for kids to get to school under their own steam.<\/p>\n

Known for being easy to wheelie and laying the foundation for BMXs and dirt riding, the Sting-Ray is truly iconic.<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
