Virtual Bike Race starts in Bristol schools

Sustrans Bike It officers are running a nationwide Virtual Bike Race during March to celebrate 15 years of the National Cycle Network. Over 550 schools (thousands of children) will be taking part in the 8,408km race around the UK using routes on the National Cycle Network. Pupils, parents and teachers will earn 'virtual kilometres' each time they cycle to school.

The race starts at Sustrans busy HQ in Bristol and follows an 8,408km circular route, passing through every single Sustrans Bike It town and city in the UK. Children can even get to (virtually) cycle past their own school!
