Bicycle Network General Manager of Behaviour Change, Tess Allaway, said that National Ride2Work Day is a great tool for Aussies to get in the routine of active travel.
“National Ride2Work Day is the perfect way to get back on the bike – you’ll be with thousands of other riders helping build a healthier Australia,” said Ms Allaway.
“Riding a bike to and from work is one of the best ways to get fit and active, reduce stress, beat the traffic, save money and you’ll even have a bit of fun along the way.”
Bicycle Network’s Ride2Work program prides itself on its success in getting more people out of cars and onto bikes by providing the tools, support and advice that new riders and workplaces need.
“Nearly half of all people who rode to work for the first time on National Ride2Work Day 2015 told us that they are now riding every week,” Ms Allaway added.
Community breakfasts will be held as far and wide as Hobart, Cairns, Darwin, Perth and almost everywhere in between.
