Councillor John Stephens, the council’s cycling and walking champion, said the authority was committed to improving the city’s infrastructure to help people travel in different ways.
He added the challenge was a great chance for people to learn about how others use transport links in the city.
“I get it that some people might feel nervous riding a bike on a road, which is fair enough,” Mr Stephens said.
“But there’s an opportunity for people to understand each other’s travelling needs and sometimes there’s a little bit of human support that’s needed.”
