Families are being invited to take up the Big Pedal 2019 – the UK’s largest cycling, walking and scooting challenge for schools.

Organised by the walking and cycling charity Sustrans, the competition will run from Monday 25th March to Friday 5th April and will encourage young people from across the UK to travel by bike, foot or scooter for their journey to and from school.

During the 10 days, participating primary and secondary schools will compete with one another to make the most journeys by bike, foot or scooter.

To coincide with this year’s event, dozens of schools across the UK, will for the first time, be closing the road outside the school gates to motor vehicles. This is to limit the volume of traffic and help reduce air pollution while creating an environment in which cycling, and walking are safe, convenient and enjoyable.

Schools and classes will be entered into a daily prize draw for rewards.
