Cycle to School Week 2022

Cycling to school is such a great thing to do – whether it’s a one-off or a daily routine for you and your family.

Not only is it much more fun than driving or taking the bus, it’s also great for physical and mental health, plus the environment and your pocket.

To encourage more families to start using pedal power to get to school there’s a national Cycle to School Week taking place across the UK from 3 to 7 October 2022.

Last year there were a whopping 33,314 cycle journeys to school – hopefully this year there will be even more!

With fuel prices rising, many families are looking for simple ways to cut everyday costs. The good news? Summer is the perfect time to get back on the bike.

Long daylight hours, warmer weather and school holidays make cycling an easy and enjoyable choice for days out, local errands and family adventures.

Whether you're riding to save money, enjoy the fresh air or just add a little movement to the day, cycling can make everyday journeys simpler, healthier and more fun.
