Next week sees this year’s Ride to Work day, as organised by the MCIA. If you don’t know what this is, it’s your chance to promote biking at your work-place. How many people at your place of work ride? How many ride to work? How many would like to, or are interested in riding? If you take this chance to show the bikes off, you can increase education levels for your employer and the people there.
At my work-place, which is a business park, we had our first Ride to Work day last year, and it was good, we got the bikes together, had a chat with the business park owners about how to make life easier for bikers, had a chat with those who were interested about bikes and let everyone know there’s a better way to get to work than the sardine-tins they use and get annoyed at twice a day.
The day promotes many things, but mainly how good bikes are for getting to and from work. There’s literature available to show employers the benefit of promoting bikes to employees, so perhaps print some off and go and have a chat. It could help benefit you in the future, i.e. better parking facilities, ground-anchors and other incentives.
Will be riding, well thats the plan. We have plenty of people that ride in where I work, especially in the summer. Its now proving very hard to get parked in the nice secure underground car park at the moment.
No Sean! It’s for motorcycles. You guys should get together wity other bikers at work and do something, i.e. group together for a couple of photos, talk about the benefits of biking to those perhaps interested in riding, tell them about LB, etc…
It’d be nice to get a load of photos from everyone who did this and put them together on the site! If anyone needs some LB flyers, we can get you some as well.
I cant really ride to work It would take me longer to get the gear on and unlock my bike than it would for me to walk there I will walk along making broom broom noises and pretend I am on my bike
We are doing an event at work which is why i need stickers/flyers, whatever but Cez has kindly offered to drop them off managed to blag some good freebies for people interested in taking up motorcycling and plan to put a bike on the stand to cheer up a few of our young patients (i work in a hospital)…
Three of us here at work will be meeting at the Ace around 8am on this day. We’ve also made our own “flyer” too and put it on all the other bikes currently in our carpark. Hopefully we’ll get a few more people along.
Drei, that’s bad, presumably they’re worried about noise or something. Perhaps you should get together with the other bikers and put a case forward to them, i.e. like a petition!
