A celebration of everyday cycling!

10th July 2015 Off By WinchCC

Cycle to Work Day is a national event, which aims to encourage everyone to take to two wheels and cycle to work for just one day.

According the census data, 760,000 people in the UK cycle to work regularly – this number keeps growing steadily, but with Cycle to Work Day’s help we are aiming to make those numbers skyrocket this year and beyond! By 2021, we hope to see 1 million people regularly commuting to work by bike.

Herculean efforts in both 2013, and 2014, saw tens of thousands of commuters hit the streets and cycle over a half of a million miles for Cycle to Work Day. Hundreds of employers have also supported the day, ranging for start ups like Pact Coffee & Rumble Labs, to large national companies such as Amey & Rolls Royce and organisations such as NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde & The University of Cambridge.

Cycle to Work Day also enjoys unilateral support from cycling advocacy groups such as British Cycling, Sustrans, The London Cycling Campaign, Cyclescheme, the Bicycle Association, The Cycling Charity (the CTC), Cycle Nation and Start (BiTC).

This far-reaching support ensures that Cycle to Work Day’s message is spread far and wide, but to truly fulfil our aims and see a million people regularly cycle commuting by 2021 we need you to get in the saddle with Cycle to Work Day and encourage your colleagues, friends and family to give cycling a go.
