Let’s Get On Our Bikes For Health And Energy


Mark and children cycling

All over the country,  families are biking to work and school this week! As we were saying in Time For A Chat in this week’s issue, those of us who bike have better health and more energy! World record breaking cyclist Mark Beaumont is calling on families to take up the challenge of ‘Around the world in 10 days’ as part of Sustrans Big Pedal 2018 – a UK-wide event to get more young people cycling and scooting to school.

The Big Pedal 2018, which runs from Monday April 23 to Friday May 4, will see pupils, parents and teachers across the UK leave their cars at home and get on their bikes and scooters for their journeys to and from school.
