Students from Panyu Qiaolian High school in Guangzhou are busy practicing their bike-riding skills, according to Information Times.

Starting this new school term, all the students who ride their bikes to school will have to pass special riding examinations and obtain a license.

The school is the first in the province to unveil such a scheme.

The headmaster said the move was aimed at promoting road safety awareness and reducing traffic accidents. Accidents involving bikes have become more frequent among students in recent years, as many choose to ride their bikes to school.
