Sustrans Big Pedal

Welcome to the Sustrans Big Pedal, the UK's largest inter-school cycling and scooting challenge.

In 2017, over 1,300 schools made 1,063,536 journeys to school by bike and scooter - and in 2018 we'd love you to join in and make the Big Pedal even bigger.

The Big Pedal is free to enter and registration in now open for 2018. This year's challenge will run from 23 April to 4 May.

Our theme for 2018 is inspired by cyclist Mark Beaumont’s record-breaking trip 'Cycling around the world in 78 days'.

By entering, you'll receive a free 2018 wallchart and classroom resources that follow in Mark’s footsteps (tyre tracks!) stopping off in a different location around the world on each day of the challenge.

The Big Pedal is open to individual classes as well as whole schools. On each day of the challenge, schools compete to see who can record the greatest proportion of their pupils, staff and parents cycling or scooting to school.

There are fantastic prizes up for grabs on every day of the event ranging from stunt shows to free scooters.
