This year,
Ride to Work Day was October 12. As a passionate cyclist, ride to work day gets me excited.
For experienced commuters, it’s a great day to celebrate your efforts.
For new commuters, it’s a good day to give things a test run and talk
with others about getting started. In October, the days are getting
longer, the sun is out and for me, there is nothing better than fitting
in exercise around my daily commute. My workplace held a breakfast for
those people participating in the event. It was a great social occasion
and wonderful to see a range of people and a range of bikes!
Encouraging and supporting healthy behaviours, such as riding to work, is a great example of
social corporate
sustainability. It reduces scope 3 emissions and supports staff health
and wellbeing. A local business that has incorporated riding to work
into their DNA is
Mountain Goat. They are a small brewery in Richmond, Melbourne. Staff receive a bonus annually
for every day they ride, walk or commute to work via public transport. Good on
ya Mountain Goat!
