Let’s get more people riding bikes for Cycle September!
We actively encourage and support more people to ride bikes, and that’s why we’re registered for Cycle September, which is hosted by Love to Ride. Whether our employees are regular riders, or haven’t ridden in a while (or ever), we want them to feel empowered to ride more.
At a time when environmental issues, wellness, and money saving are an important factor for many, there has never been a better time to ride a bike.
Last year, 41,861 riders and 7,694 workplaces worldwide took part in Cycle September, and this year we’re hoping to push those numbers even higher!
What is Cycle September?
It’s a fun bike challenge open to all, with a bit of friendly competition for workplaces, too. Staff ride their bikes and encourage others to earn points, and the workplaces with the most points will top the leaderboards. There are lots of prizes up for grabs for individual riders including a £4,000 holiday!
What if you’re new to riding?
To join the challenge, it doesn’t matter if you ride every day or if you haven’t been on a bike in years. The folks at Love to Ride are behaviour change experts who have refined their approach by helping people worldwide get into biking. Love to Ride has lots of resources to help people ride out with confidence, including a range of Tips articles and Quick Courses.
There are so many benefits to be enjoyed from riding a bike, and Cycle September is about embracing each and every one of them, such as:
⚡️ Supercharged physical health – even a 10-minute bike ride will boost your immune system, improve cardiovascular health, and help you live longer
🧠 Improved mental health – riding a bike is a mindful activity that promotes the release of endorphins and can reduce the causes of depression
🧡 Reduced stress and anxiety – biking can calm the mind, improve self-confidence, and elevate your mood
🌍 Protecting the planet – reduce your carbon footprint by leaving the car at home
💰 Saving money – cut down on transport costs and car maintenance
