Micro Scooters is the premium kids scooter brand. Over 1 million families scoot to school on one of their scooters every day. The brand is parent founded and run, B Corp and Carbon Neutral certified and also runs ScooterAid - a charitable scheme to revamp old scooters and rehome them with those who may otherwise miss out.

Raleigh is one of the world's oldest and best-known bike brands. Established in 1887 in Nottingham, England, we’re still based in our hometown. Whether you're a fair-weather fun rider or an everyday 'rain-or-shine' enthusiast, your new ride is waiting just around the corner - check out the Raleigh range, from Electric bikes to Kids bikes and everything in between.

What is the Challenge?

The challenge is a fun, free online tool to help you boost your health and wellbeing. Register to take part then get walking and wheeling and log your journeys everyday. Everyone who lives or works in Plymouth can take part and there’s lots of help and support available throughout the month.

Take part by yourself and set targets and goals then track your progress on your personal dashboard. We will help keep you going with prizes and tips every week. Don’t forget to check out the rewards for some great discounts and collect badges along the way.

Why not join up with others to create a team and see how far you can go! Taking part with others is a great way to create some friendly competition and will help you all to keep the momentum up. Set some team goals, collect badges for your efforts and climb the leaderboard to the top spot!

Whether you want to try getting a bit fitter, switch up some old habits or try out a new way of getting to work, sign up today and from 1st July you can start logging your journeys.

Which journeys count?

You can include walking, cycling, running, scooting, and rolling journeys. You will find a great list of options when you log a journey. Electric bike trips are an option in your hilly city!

You can include journeys made to work, to the shops, to a leisure facility or meeting friends and the school run.

You can also include any trips you make which are for leisure only. It all counts so if you are getting out and about with a lead walk or ride, join in too and be rewarded for your efforts. If you are working from home, we can also encourage you to get out for some fresh air and exercise.

Everyone is welcome and we will be there to support you along the way. Register today and join the Big Plymouth Travel Challenge!
