Cycling is everywhere! With excitement building about the medal chances of Sir Chris Hoy and the GB team, not to mention Barclays' ‘Boris bikes', Sky Ride events and booming cycle sales, there's lots of enthusiasm for getting back on your bike in the run-up to London 2012.
Cycling has a huge role to play in building happy, healthy, motivated and green workplaces. British Cycling, the national governing body for cycling and home of the Great Britain Cycling Team, is inviting companies and organisations to take part in a cycling programme specially designed for the workplace. It's a chance to get involved in a wide range of year-round cycling activities with an emphasis on team building and fun leading to sustained cycling - rather than just encouraging cycle commuting or traditional cycling challenges. And partnering with British Cycling is a unique way for your organisation to join together in support of Great Britain cycling team at this exciting time.
Using our cycling and workplace health expertise, we'll work with you to create a bespoke package for your workplace. From companies and organisations to councils and charities, we can help create more active, healthier and sustainable cycling workplaces and communities. Becoming a British Cycling Workplace will help your business achieve a wide range of health, transport and environmental objectives; as well as exciting your team about cycling for fun - and supporting Great Britain at our home Games.
"With your help British Cycling is providing support to all cyclists, however they ride. That could mean building new cycling facilities, putting on more cycling events or looking after the day to day needs of members who ride to work, ride to race, or just ride for the fun of it. Supporting British Cycling makes you one of the team!"
Sir Chris Hoy MBE
Multiple World & Olympic Champion
