A sustainable transport charity is calling out to parents to encourage children to walk or cycle to school.

Sustrans have invited families in the South of England to take part of their Big Pedal event.

This year’s competition is backed by Angellica Bell, the British television and radio presenter and cycling advocate, who took on the ‘Tour de Celeb’ in 2016 where she found her love for cycling.

The competition will run from March 25 to April 5 and will encourage young people from across the UK to travel by bike, foot or scooter for their journey to and from school.

Schools and classes will be entered into daily prize draws for rewards

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

Sustrans urge schools to ditch cars for morning transport for Big Pedal event
