Cycle to School Week 23-27 September

Use pedal power for Cycle to School Week 2024

Cheshire West and Chester Council is asking schools to make a 'pledge to pedal' this Cycle to School week.

Every year, schools across the UK come together to celebrate Cycle to School Week, an exciting event that encourages students and families to ditch their cars and hop on their bikes to cycle to school. Held annually in September, the nationwide initiative highlights the many benefits of cycling to school, from improved health to reduced carbon footprint.

This year's Cycle to School Week is from 23 to 27 September, and the Council's Road Safety team works closely with Bikeright to ensure everyone has the training they need to take to pedal power.

Schools in Cheshire West and Chester can request free Bikeability training to levels 1, 2 and 3 as well as Bikeability Plus Balance and Learn to Ride. To enquire about or book training in your school, please contactBike Right.
