South Lanarkshire Council is encouraging residents to cycle more this month as the Bike Month Challenge kicks off.
The Bike Month Challenge will take place throughout this month and aims to engage communities and businesses in a fun, friendly social competition to help them achieve their health, wellness and sustainability goals.
Executive director of community and enterprise resources, David Booth, said: “Cycling is a fantastic way to get out and about, get active and to see some of the wonderful sights on your doorstep. It’s also a very planet friendly way to travel around our local towns and villages.
“Plus during the Bike Month Challenge there is the chance to win some great prizes.
“I would encourage as many people as possible to sign up now and get involved – and good luck.”
The challenge is open to everyone and is easy to do, registration can be completed online – riders can compete in teams of up to 10 people.
Points are accumulated with every mile and day you cycle as well as for every person you encourage to cycle, the more points you have the more prize entries you gain. There are a range of prizes to be won including a new bike worth £1500.
South Lanarkshire Council’s Air Quality Action Plan which is delivered by the Environmental Services Team is supporting the challenge.
