What’s involved?
Did you know that 55% of Sydney commuters drive less than 5km to get to work everyday.
Why not save time, money and the environment by riding to work. AND START TODAY.
We've all thought about it...and most likely said to ourselves "Nah, that would be too hard". Always excuses. Mine have played out like "Its too far to ride", "There's too many hills to climb" or "I'll be too sweaty and tired when I get there". Ok, ok.
By riding to work you will:
1. Look Good and Feel Great
2. Reduce your likelihood of suffering from obesity, heart disease, depression and some types of cancer
3. Avoid the petrol price hike and save money!
4. Reduce your impact on the environment by significantly cutting you greenhouse emissions
5. Think of your commute as the best part of your day, not the worst part of your day.
So as much as you may have been putting off buying or riding a bike, think about the difference it could make to your wellbeing and to the environment.
