Bike to Work

Being a team leader is a great opportunity to bring Bike to Work Week and commuter cycling in general to your workplace.  As a team leader you can do as little or as much as you want – it all depends on how much you want to be involved!

To become a team leader follow these simple steps:

1. Register your workplace
2. Pick-up some posters
3. Encourage people to participate

Here are some ideas:

• offer small incentives i.e. a chocolate each day someone rides, small prizes (in a place where others can see)
• organize your team to attend a celebration station
• Buddy rides are great to help people to build confidence
• Assist people to overcome barriers i.e. gear requirements, choosing a safe route, gaining confidence riding
• Organize a local bike shop to deliver a one-hour lunchtime workshop on bike maintenance and basic safety (if you include lunch people are sure to attend!)
