The annual event, previously known as Bike to School Week, is back for 2022. This year, the Bikeability Trust are taking the handlebars, supported by Sustrans.

Cycle to School Week will run from Monday 3 to Friday 7 October across the UK. During this time, the campaign wants as many people as possible to make a pledge for Cycle to School Week. In total, the journeys to school pledged during Bike to School Week in 2021 saved over £20,000 of fuel. 

In 2021, there were a 33,314 cycle journeys pledged. This year, they want you to choose from one of four different pledges:

  • Cycle to school everyday
  • Swap one car journey for cycling
  • Cycle with your family
  • Discover somewhere new on a cycle ride

Whether you are a teacher, parent, child or cycle instructor, you can make a pledge for Cycle to School Week and you have until Friday 7 October to make your pledge. You'll also enter into our prize draw for the chance to win a Frog City 61 Bike!
