What is the Big Pedal?
In March more than 250,000 children will make over a million active and sustainable journeys to school as part of the UK’s biggest school cycling event.
- Pupils, teachers and parents cycle or scoot to school to complete each of the 15 Big Pedal stages, (a bit like the Tour de France)
- The more people that cycle or scoot to school, the faster your school completes 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. You can also use the race to fundraise for your school and the charity Sustrans.
