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.

“ I have recently discovered it is possible to cycle the 11 miles to work and not collapse in a heap at the end!
