Ride to Work Week, 23-29 March
Get ready for our first event of 2020 - Ride to Work Week!
What's it all about?
Riding all or part of the way to work has significant benefits that will make you happier, healthier and wealthier.
More people riding to work reduces:
- illness and sick leave - cycle commuters are fitter and healthier, taking half the sick leave of their non-cycling colleagues
- stress and anxiety - people who ride to work regularly report improved mental health
- the cost of commuting - the average UK worker spends £146 monthly, or £135,000 over their working life
- the cost of public health - the NHS could save billions through reduced obesity, diabetes and heart disease
- congestion and pollution, which contributes to 40,000 premature deaths annually in the UK
Commuting by bike has many benefits for individuals, organisations and society - plus it's great fun! Join us to reboot your commute and discover the joys and benefits of commuting by bike!
