Get involved: Ride to Work Week 2018

Published: 22 June 2018

Welcome to Friday, the start of the weekend at the end of Ride to Work Week 2018? Lots of you will be taking advantage of the forecast good weather and riding your motorbikes, but spare a thought for those who work weekends. Hopefully they’ll #commutehappy and keep the ball rolling.

The average commuter spends 1,708 hours sitting in traffic over the course of a lifetime, and congestion would be reduced by 40% if just one in ten drivers switched to bikes.

Other benefits include more space in work carparks and a reduction in lost working hours due to traffic-related lateness.
