Tomorrow's Climate Today's Challenge CTC

Local Events

We can all help spread the word! As cyclists we can encourage others to think about climate change and to question their transport choices. Whether commuting to work getting to school or simply those short journeys to the shops, every journey taken by bike rather than by car is saving a lot of carbon emissions.

CycleHero Week Local Events:

During the week of July 14-22, CTC local clubs organised events right across the country to celebrate CycleHero week and encourage people to take the CTC climate change challenge.
