🚲 It’s Bike to Work Day!

Could your commute look a little different today?

Whether you cycle the whole way, combine your bike with public transport or simply ride part of the journey, every pedal counts. You don’t need specialist kit or loads of experience. Just your bike, a comfortable route and the willingness to give it a go.

Cycling to work can help you feel more active, reduce commuting costs and make your everyday journey more enjoyable.

Did you cycle to work today? Share your journey and tag us to help inspire more people across Milton Keynes to get on their bikes.

Cycling Citizens MK is working in partnership with Get Around MK to help more women feel confident getting on their bikes.

Research shows that three times as many men as women cycle, and we are supporting a range of initiatives to help close this ‘gender pedal gap’.

Two of the barriers women often mention are a lack of confidence and not having access to a suitable bike. Get Around MK offers free monthly women-only Bikeability sessions, while Ann, Jane and Marie from Cycling Citizens MK lead friendly follow-up rides, giving participants the chance to practise their skills, meet other women and build their confidence.

A big thank you to Two Mile Ash School for allowing us to borrow their bikes, helping to ensure that not owning a bike does not prevent anyone from taking part.

Huge congratulations to everyone at Two Mile Ash School on being named Bikeability School of the Year! 🏆🚲

What an incredible achievement, and even more special as it's the second year in a row that a Milton Keynes school has received this national recognition. It highlights the outstanding commitment from schools across our city to making cycling an everyday part of school life.

Two Mile Ash School is a fantastic example of how active travel can help children build confidence, independence and lifelong healthy habits, while bringing pupils, families and the wider community together.

Cycling Citizens MK has been working in partnership with Get Around MK to support women into cycling.

Research shows a three times more men cycle and CCMK have been working on a number of initiatives to reduce this 'gender pedal gap'.

One of the barriers often cited is lack of access to bikes and confidence cycling. Get around MK have been offering free women’s bikeability sessions monthly and Ann, Jane and Marie from CCMK have been offering and leading follow-up rides to enable the women to put their skills into practice and gain further confidence. Thanks to Two Mile Ash School who have allowed us to borrow their bikes, so access to a bike is not a barrier.

A huge congratulations to Nish and Arasi who have been undertaking these cycling training sessions and on Saturday completed their ‘graduation ride’ of 14 miles - their longest ever distance! by riding MK's Millennium route 🏆🏅Nish and Arasi you should be very proud of your achievement! coming so far in only a few months.

Happy 34th Birthday to one of the founder members of the Cycling Citizens Alliance.

Did you know there’s a pump track in Oakgrove? 🚲

Lots of people still don’t realise it’s there, but it’s such a brilliant spot for kids, families and anyone who wants to have a bit of fun on their bike.

Here’s 6-year-old Ellie absolutely loving it, and proving you don’t need a BMX, fancy kit or amazing skills to have a great time.

The Oakgrove Pump Track is designed for different ages and abilities, so you can go at your own pace, build confidence and enjoy being outside on two wheels.

Find it in Ouzel Valley Park, Oakgrove, Milton Keynes, MK10 9UN.

Start slow, have a go, and enjoy the ride. 💛

A brilliant celebration of cycling in Milton Keynes. 🚲🏆

As part of the MK Festival of Cycling, the Mayor’s Cycling Awards brought together schools, businesses, community groups and cycling champions who are helping more people get on their bikes across our city.

It was great to celebrate the efforts of Milton Keynes City Council, Love to Ride, Milton Keynes Community Foundation, The Open University, Network Rail, Santander UK, ICAEW, Milton Keynes Christian Foundation, The Parks Trust and many more who are helping to enable, encourage and empower more people to cycle in MK.

From recognising top cycling workplaces and schools, to celebrating student creativity with Milton Keynes College, to supporting donated bikes for local communities, this was a fantastic event full of energy, generosity and inspiration.

Huge congratulations to all the award winners, and thank you to everyone playing a part in keeping Milton Keynes moving.

Let’s keep the momentum going. 💛
