Cycle to Work Day is one of the most significant community events in the UK, this year marks its eleventh anniversary that the Cycle scheme is running the event. It is all about encouraging the UK’s workforce to use an alternative mode of transport to work, which is cycling rather than the traditional car. This event is for everyone, what matters is encouraging each other to give it a go, while joining the community of cyclists and experiencing all that’s good about cycling to work.

What are the benefits of cycling to work?

* 133,442 tonnes of CO2 are saved each year by people that are cycling to work.
