Pedals was founded in 1979 to encourage more people to use bikes and to campaign for safer and more attractive conditions for cyclists in the Nottingham and East Midlands area

Pedals 30th birthday (1979-2009) – Join the Celebrations!

30th Birthday CakeYes indeed, this May marked the 30th anniversary of the commuter cycle races in May 1979, sponsored by BBC Radio Nottingham, which launched Pedals. In these the cyclist beat the car passenger and the bus passenger to arrive first in the studios, after setting off from different starting points each day from points each about 2 miles from the city centre.
