Saddle up during your lunchbreak

Lunchtime Cycle Rides Return This August!

Looking for a great way to get some fresh air, enjoy a bit of exercise and make the most of your lunch break? Join the Travel Smart team for their series of Lunchtime Cycle Rides, taking place every Tuesday and Wednesday throughout August.

Join the Group Ride (12 Noon till 12.45pm)

Take part in a relaxed, slow-paced cycle ride with colleagues. These rides are designed to be sociable, enjoyable and accessible to all abilities, with no one left behind. They route will be off road using the local walking and cycling paths.

Borrow a Bike and Ride Your Own Route (Anytime throughout the day)

Prefer to cycle independently? Employees can borrow a bike and head out on their own lunchtime journey, exploring local routes at their own pace.

Why Get Involved?

• boost your physical and mental wellbeing
• enjoy some fresh air during the working day
• build confidence cycling on local routes
• meet colleagues from across the organisation
• try cycling without needing your own bike
• you can even ask to borrow an e-bike and experience the benefits and joy it brings to cycling

No special clothing is required, and bikes and helmets will be provided for those who need them. To reserve a bike for any of the two activities then please complete the Social Bike Ride Register.

Taking part? Stop and send us a selfie or your feedback as we'd love to hear from you and promote this fantastic example of employee wellbeing and outdoor fitness in action!
