4 September Cycle to Work day
4th September is when nationally over 9000 people have already pledged to cycle in to work.
Can we help them up this number and put Colchester on the map?
It’s easy to make a pledge online, however can you get your employer to take part too?
It’s also easy for employers to support Cycle to Work day.
All they need to do is pledge their support by committing to at least one of the actions below:
1) Promote Cycle to Work day throughout their business
2) Be part of Britain’s Biggest Bike Breakfast, by rewarding colleagues that ride in on September 4 with a coffee and croissant
3) Run an event for their staff to promote the day and its aims
Pass the web link www.cycletoworkday.org to your employer and encourage them to pledge on behalf of your organisation.
If you are an employer reading this make your pledge HERE! today. There are also lots of resources on the site you can download to promote the day including posters, emails, letter heads etc.
Cycle retailers across the country have also signed up to offer Free Dr Bike MOT’s between the 25th August and 4th September. In Colchestser Thomas’ Cycle Revolution and 53-12 have signed up to offer these checks but staff can check out local retailers where they live by clicking here If you do take up the offer from a retailer give them a ring before hand to arrange a mutually convenient time to take your bike in.
If you or your staff want some ideas on cycle routes they can check out the route maps on the Cycle Colchester website.
If you do celebrate Cycle to Work day, please remember to take some photos and dont’ forget to share them with us at travel.plan.club@colchester.gov.uk
