Brief Summary
The aim of this school-based cycling intervention called "Cycling and Walk to School" (PACO, for its Spanish acronym) will be to examine their effects on adolescent's cycling to and from school and physical activity (PA). This study will also examine the effects of this intervention in several active commuting to and from school (ACS)-related variables belonging to Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Social-Ecological Model (SEM).

EXPERIMENTALA 1-month bike-based program (1 session/week)
Interventions
A 1-month biking-based program. The biking program consists of 4 sessions/month of 120 min at physical education lessons in school, and will focus on promote biking through theory and practice lessons about cycle training skills including on-road training
