Calling all commuters, leisure cyclists and Londoners! The Voi Bike Challenge provides a unique opportunity to race for fun on a spectacular closed road race circuit in the heart of the City of London. The Challenge is more than just a race, where responsible riding will be required to avoid penalties.

How it works:

• Voi bikes will be positioned in a parking area past the finish line on Queen Victoria Street.

• Participants will be assembled on the start line and will run to the bikes and use the Voi app to unlock a bike and start riding.

• Participants will race across 5 laps of the Nocturne circuit (approx 15-20 minutes).

• Riders must obey the rules of the road and stop at red lights at designated junctions on the circuit - failure to stop will result in disqualification.

• At the end of the 5 laps riders must park their bike properly back in the designated parking area to complete the challenge and take a photo using the app. A parking official will be on hand to approve the parking.

• The first rider to complete the challenge and correctly part their Voi bike will be declared the winner.

• Failure to follow the rules and ride responsibly will result in penalties by the race officials.

How to enter:
