Landmark celebrates Cycle to Work Day

Cycle to Work Day is a national event, championed by multi gold medal winning Paralympic cyclist, Dame Sarah Storey, which aims to encourage everyone to take to two wheels and cycle to work for just one day on Thursday 4th September 2014. The goal is to encourage the maximum number of working adults to experience the potential delights cycling to work can bring.

We at Landmark have made our pledge and are supporting this national event by promoting Cycle To Work Day throughout our business. All Landmarkers at the Exeter and Reading offices have received emails promoting the day along with links for www.cycletoworkday.org and our internal intranet benefits page where more information can be found. Posters have been dotted around as well as some slides on the TV screens.
We have also pledged to be part of Britain’s Biggest Bike Breakfast and are offering orange juice and a pastry to anyone who cycles in on the day at both offices.

Exeter staff will also have the opportunity to speak to Travel Devon travel advisors who will be able to offer friendly and professional advice on all things travel between 12.00pm and 2pm on 4th September. They will be based in the South Western Ambulance Service HQ car park.
As part of the day hundreds of bike shops across the UK will be offering Cycle to Work Day participants free bike health checks. A trained professional will assess your bike and give it a simple rating of Green, Amber or Red. Green indicates your bike is in tip-top condition, whereas amber or red means it'd be advisable to book your bike in to the workshop before you tackle your commute. This free Health Check is available between 25th August and 4th September and you can download your form from as well as finding your nearest participating bike shop at www.cycletoworday.org.

We have a strong cycling community at Landmark so show your support and pledge your ride!!
