On the final day of #CycleToSchoolWeek, Emily Cherry joins Chris Boardman CBE to discuss the national importance of making school journeys healthier, safer and more accessible.

With more than 461,000 pledges made this year, the challenge now is to keep that momentum going.

An award-winning week! 🚲🏆

We’re delighted that #CycleToSchoolWeek has won the Education Award at the #NationalSustainabilityAwards.

A huge congratulations to Emily Cherry who officially received her MBE for services to active travel for young people at Windsor Castle yesterday. A very special and well-deserved honour. 🚲 And what better way to celebrate than arriving by cycle during #CycleToSchoolWeek?

From #CycleToSchoolWeek to Cycle to the Palace Week! 🚲👑

A slightly different destination for today's visit, as Emily Cherry cycles to Windsor Castle to collect her MBE, on a HOY Pentland of course.

A huge honour, and quite possibly the most Bikeability way to arrive at the castle.
