International Cycle to Work Day

Cycling To Work Day is an international annual event celebrated on 15 August. Thousands of enthusiastic riders hit the streets to celebrate everyday cycling.

All you need to take part is a bike – new or old – and the desire to ride!

WHAT CYCLING DOES FOR YOUR BODY

• Increased cardiovascular fitness

• Improved joint mobility

WHAT CYCLING DOES FOR YOU POCKET

With the current petrol price at R15.72 and diesel price at R14.33, it is not a hard decision to switch to cycling.

WHAT CYCLING DOES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

• Global temperatures are rising
• The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) determined that a 1.5°C rise will increase risk of events like extreme droughts, wildfires, and floods.
• If no changes are made, the global temperature could rise by as much as 3°C—double the rate that scientists agree would already be catastrophic. 
• Evidence proves that car emissions are bad for the environment and bike trips can reduce the impact.
• A 20% increase in cycling worldwide could cut CO2 emissions from transport by nearly 11% in 2050.
