Thursday 3rd August 2023 is Cycle to Work Day, the UK’s biggest celebration of cycle commuting! 

Whether you’ve never cycled before, not ridden in a while, or ride your bike every day, Cycle to Work Day is a chance to be active, get on the saddle and experience the brilliant benefits everyday cycling offers. Along with the obvious health and money-saving benefits, you’ll reduce your carbon footprint too.

Commuting to work on a bicycle isn’t an option for everyone, so Cycle to Work Day encourages any and all types of bike rides – whether it’s cycling to the shops, on the school run, or meeting up with friends for a ride, for example. 

Get involved! 

• If you’re thinking of giving cycling to work a go then please notify Facilities in advance (by emailing the Carnival House inbox) so they can give you information about accessing the undercroft, showers, lockers and access rights.
• Why not join the friendly community of Carnival House cyclists on our Teams site, click here to join the group
• Sign up to Love to Ride!  Whether you’re a leisurely Sunday cycler, or you use your bike to commute, with Love to Ride, you can track your bike miles, see your carbon savings and find support to ride more often. They also do regular challenges, where you can win cash prizes just for riding your bike.
• We also have a fantastic cycle to work scheme which is a very tax efficient way of purchasing a bicycle. Find out more here. 

Hear from Carnival UK colleagues, Tom, Gareth and Bob about their personal experiences of cycling and the benefits it brings.
