Get your work/school mates on a bike!
The Somerset Cycle Challenge is a fun challenge to encourage more people to give cycling a go!
People across Somerset are being challenged to increase the amount of cycling they do from 1 March to 31 July 2010. Log your cycle trips on this website each month to be in with the chance of winning a monthly prize draw of up to £75 of vouchers for cycle kit. Encourage your friends and family to sign up, and you'll receive free cinema tickets! Learn more...
You can also track how many calories you burn and CO2 emissions you save. We'll also use this site to tell you about free services you can access to help you cycle more often and more safely.
The distance or time you ride for is not important - what is important is enjoying cycling regularly and encouraging your friends and family to get involved and benefit too!
