Crawley Borough Council is supporting The Big Pedal 2018, a UK wide event to get more young people cycling and scooting to school.

The event runs from today until 4th May. During the 12 days, participating primary and secondary schools will complete with one another to make the most journeys by bike or scooter.  Prizes are awarded to those schools that cycle the most, show the most improvement and are most consistent in their efforts.

Local schools signed up for the challenge include Forge Wood, Langley Green, Northgate, Waterfield, Gossops Green, Milton Mount and Our Lady Queen of Heaven Primary schools.  

The event is organised by walking and cycling charity, Sustrans.
