An expo was also held in the city centre to raise awareness about the Limerick Smarter Travel project. As part of this there was a display of work generated from the school project. In total, over 10,000 people visited this expo throughout the week.

National Cycle to School Day 2013
St. Brigids NS, Singland launched their first ever Cycle On Wednesday on June 19th 2013 as part of their list of Bike Week Activities. On the day over 179 students (36%) cycled to school from all year standards. Students who made the effort to cycle were rewarded with a hi-viz bag cover courtesy of the RSA. This event generated an enormous amount of positivity in the school community and has paved the way for the long – term implementation of this initiative. Well done to Linda O Reilly for all of her work to promote cycling in St.Brigids NS
Gaelscoil Chaladh an Treoigh is also part of the schools programme pilot from the Castletroy Super Hub. As part of their National Bike Week activities they held a major ‘Bling your Bike’ and ‘Bling your hi-viz’ competition. This was quite the spectacle in the school where over 45 students cycled to school and of these 35 binged their bikes
