Cycle to Work Day 2024: 1 August 2024
Are you ready to be an everyday champion?!
Cycle to Work Day is back on Thursday 1st August 2024!
Whether you’ve never cycled before, not ridden in a while or cycle every day, Cycle to Work Day is for you. It’s a day to get in the saddle and experience the brilliant benefits everyday cycling offers – mental, physical and financial – first-hand.
The benefits of commuting by bike
Keeping yourself healthy is important and commuting by bike provides the perfect opportunity to give your body and mind that extra boost!
Cycling to work not only improves your fitness, but also brings a whole host of other benefits. And even if you’re working from home, you can use the saved commuting hours to head out on two wheels for a lunchtime break or at the end of the working day.
Cycling is one of the best forms of cardio exercise out there. It provides a low-impact workout that helps strengthen your leg muscles and gets your heart pumping. Best of all, you’ll burn off more calories than you would during a walk or run. It is also great if you’ve got any aches or niggles in your hips, knees, or feet, as its low-impact exercise takes the pressure off these weight-bearing joints.
Cycling can be a really cost effective way of getting yourself to and from work and it is an excellent way of reducing your carbon footprint and allows you to contribute to the UK’s target for a greener future.
At Moray we are encouraging you to explore the benefits of cycling through the availability of Pools Bikes, Staff Led Bike Rides as well as an annual C2W Salary Sacrifice offering.
