Tomorrow, September 12, is Cycle to Work Day, a national event, championed by multi gold medal winning Paralympic cyclist, Dame Sarah Storey, which aims to encourage everyone to take to two wheels for their commute. According to census data, 760,000 people in the UK cycle to work regularly, and one of the long-term goals of the scheme is to see that figure rise to a million by 2021. The Cycle to Work Day website – cycletoworkday.org – offers a host of ways to get involved (beyond the very obvious act of actually cycling to work), with downloads, offers of free ‘Bike Health Checks’ available from partner shops across the country and details of on-going campaigns. So, tomorrow we’ll certainly be cycling to work, will you?
