Get ready to race in the UK’s biggest school cycling event of the year.Ride your bike or scoot to school in an epic race around the UK.

5-23 March 2012 www.thebigpedal.org.uk

How it works• Pupils, teachers and parents cycle or scoot to

school to complete each of the Big Pedal stages,

(a bit like the Tour de France)

• The more people that cycle or scoot to school,

the faster your school finishes each stage

• The Big Pedal winner is the school that completes

the whole race in the quickest overall time.

There are categories for primary and secondary school,

with amazing prizes to be won in each at a national,

regional and local level. And if the whole race sounds

like too much you can choose to take part in one of our

special one-day stage races instead.

See www.thebigpedal.org.uk for full race details.

Want to get involved? Register your school now at www.thebigpedal.org.uk. Entry is completely FREE and there is an opportunity to fundraise for the charity Sustrans and your school. Deadline for race registration: 2 March 2012

A BIG thanks to all of these guys for donating such brilliant prizes.

The Big Pedal is funded by the British cycle industry under the Bike Hub levy scheme. Bike Hub is an industry-wide initiative developed by The Bicycle Association of Great Britain and the Association of Cycle Traders. The objective of Bike Hub is to generate funds through voluntary contributions from within the cycle industry to invest in projects in order to safeguard the future of cycling.

Bikeability is the national cycle training scheme, based on the National Standard for Cycle Training, which is shared by all UK governments. More than 300,000 children learn to cycle the Bikeability way each year, and this number is still increasing as it spreads to all parts of the United Kingdom.

The Big Pedal is powered by Sustrans, the charity that’s enabling people to travel by foot, bike or public transport for more of the journeys we make every day. Sustrans is a registered charity in the UK No. 326550 (England

and Wales) SCO39263 (Scotland)
