Over the last three years we have run 28 workplace cycle challenges, engaging more than 47,000 people and 2,600 organisations.

Our challenges are proven to be consistently successful at:

• Getting new cyclists to take up and continue cycling.
• Getting occasional cyclists to start cycling regularly.
• Getting more people to cycle for transport purposes.

York Cycle Challenge 2011

• 2,609 PEOPLE
• 263 NON-CYCLISTS
• 172,267 MILES
• 61,503 KG/CO2

“ I realised how easy it is to cycle into work and how quick/ convenient it is rather than using a car.
– Danielle W. (Occasional Cyclist, Environment Agency) ”

“ It created a conversation topic amongst all the cyclists at work both old and new some people who I had never even said hello to before. Great fun.
– Mark E. (Non-Cyclist, Shepherd Group Industrial Division) ”

175 people rode a bike during the Challenge for the first time in over a year.

Oxfordshire Cycle Challenge

• 4,303 PEOPLE
• 416 NON-CYCLISTS
• 295,240 MILES
• 105,125 KG/CO2

“ The Challenge gave me the encouragement to cycle. Being registered blind and having minimal vision cycling is a very scary feat for me and yet I absolutely love it. The Challenge provided me with a reason to gain my confidence and I’m doing just that pedal by pedal!!
– Kerri K. (Non-Cyclist, Henmans LLP) ”

“ It was a great way to get me cycling and I now save about £70 a week on petrol. I have met lots of new people and even took part in a 60 mile sportive on 21 August - before the Cycle Challenge I didn't think I could even cycle 9 miles!
– Cari O. (Occasional Cyclist, Elsevier Ltd) ”

– Tiffany W. (Non-Cyclist, Ordnance Survey) ”

“ I have recently discovered it is possible to cycle the 11 miles to work and not collapse in a heap at the end!
– Louise B. (Regular Cyclist, University of Southampton) ”
