Enjoy the benefits of cycling and discover local cafes

You can have your cake and eat it with The Cake Escape.

The Cake Escape rewards Essex residents for getting on their bikes and visiting local cafés.

The more you cycle, the more free cake you can eat!

"My daughter and I completed the cake escape last week. We had a great time completing the challenge and thoroughly enjoyed our free piece of cake. We thought that the whole experience of cycling to the different cafes was liberating and it also gave us confidence to cycle further than we normally would have." TK, Colchester
