The fifth annual Cycle to Work Day takes place on Wednesday 13 September 2017, encouraging people to use pedal power for their commute.

Promoted by Cyclescheme.co.uk and Halfords and with partners including the charities Sustrans and Cycling UK, it's the fifth annual edition of the event, first held in 2013.

More than 25,000 riders and 500 employers have already pledged to be involved this year on the Cycle to Work Day website, where you can find out more information.

Anyone pledging to commute by bike that day through the website will also be entered into a draw with prizes including a cycling holiday for two to Spain, Boardman bikes, clothing bundles from Rapha and Showers Pass and much more.

There's more details about the day on the flyer below.
