National Ride to Work Day is an opportunity for businesses, organisations and communities to increase the numbers of people riding to work by having them register and participate in the National Ride to Work Day event.
National Ride to Work Day is a FREE event, it costs nothing to register and workplace coordinators receive a free promotional kit to assist them to encourage others in their office to also participate in the event. Businesses, organisations and communities have the option of running their own event (e.g. a riders breakfast) on National Ride to Work Day 13th October 2010, or participating in an event already being held in their area.
So round up your work mates, dust the cobwebs off your old pushies, and get together for a casual ride to work.
For more details, and to register your organisation, visit the Bicycle SA website, or the Ride2Work website.
