Meet our Summer of Cycling Challenge winners!
Check out some of the fabulous entrants, photos and winners from this year’s Summer of Cycling Challenge!
September 8, 2025
This summer, Bikeability and Frog Bikes teamed up once again to encourage free-wheeling family fun in the sun! Our Summer of Cycling Challenge saw entrants taking part in as many (or as few) challenges as they liked, including cycling to a local landmark and making a pledge to Cycle to School Week.
By entering, they were in with the chance to win a brand new Frog cycle of their choice (up to the value of £590!), with runners up receiving an exciting bundle of Bikeability goodies.
We were thrilled to receive a record number of entries this year, so check out some of the amazing riders below and see what they got up this summer!
The challenges
Explore nature and wildlife while out cycling
We challenged you to get closer to nature on your cycle and see what wildlife you could spot along the way! We had some fantastic entries this summer, including this picturesque shot of runner-up Charlie, who spotted these graceful swans.
Complete a ride with one or more family members
Cycling can be even more fun with family and friends, as demonstrated by Teddy and his sister having a blast in the skate park!
Clean up a park or trail while out cycling
Cycling is far more pleasant when it’s free of litter. Big thanks to the Nauman family for helping to keep their local park clean as part of their ride.
Cycle to a local landmark
A photo with a local landmark was one of our most popular entries. We had so many great submissions, including this impressive shot of Arayah in front of the Emirates Stadium!
Ride to a community event
We love to see cycling as part of the community, so challenged you to ride to your local fete, fair or pop-up event. Runners-up the Ferentiu family enjoyed exploring their home city by taking part in the Stomp Round Leicester elephant trail!
Clean your cycle
A clean cycle is a happy cycle! Here’s one of the Tanna children giving his bike a good refresh, ready for all our challenges!
Perform an M-check on your cycle
M-checks are essential to keep your cycle safe and in good condition. Here’s Remy, making sure his tyres have the right air pressure before he hits the road!
Explore a National cycle route
There are some great cycle routes to explore, including this colourful number found by our runner-up Charlie on his adventures this summer. Find a route near you by exploring the National Cycle Network.
Make a pledge for Cycle to School Week
Have you made your pledge for Cycle to School Week yet? Many of our entrants did, including our winner Emily, who’s geared up and ready to go! There’s still time left until it kicks off on the 13 October, so make your pledge now.
Practice signalling on your cycle
Signalling to other road users to communicate your next move is a key cycling skill. Here’s Elizabeth practicing her signalling before hitting the road.
Ride through some puddles
Here’s Skye, taking great care not to splash her fabulous outfit as she rides straight through a gigantic puddle. Great job Skye!
Cycle around a pump track
We loved seeing shots of your local pump tracks. Here’s Hari getting to grips with his after learning to ride with pedals this summer!
Our winners
Everyone who entered won the ultimate prize of a summer packed full of cycling adventures. Congratulations to our overall winner and runners up!
Runner up: Charlie
I took my son Charlie on a sponsored cycle and he raised £1058!
Runners up: The Ferentiu family
We spent so many amazing days on our bikes, exploring new places and making memories together. Even on the days when the sun wasn’t out, we still grabbed our bikes and rode, because for us, every day on the bike is a great day!
Runners up: The Parker family
As a family we LOVE cycling, all 4 of us kids and us 2 adults. We have explored so many places we never normally would out on our bikes.
Winner: Emily
Emily has been amazing on her bike this year. She went from balance bike to pedals and is now sending it down our local jumps each week. Full face helmet required!!! We love riding as a family with our 2yo on the kids ride shotgun seat and have had lots of days out on the bikes.
Emily has selected the Frog 53 hybrid in pink as her prize! Thank you to our partners at Frog Bikes for inspiring a Summer of Cycling with us.
Congratulations to all the entrants who took part in the Challenge – we hope you had an amazing time on your cycles this summer!
