The Challenge is all about participation. Businesses encouraging the highest percentage of staff to take part will be rewarded with enviable titles and great prizes!

There are also plenty of opportunities for individuals to bag top prizes for their cycling efforts. With Evans Cycles and Time Out London as official partners, there will be superb gifts suitable for all, ranging from VIP tickets, Evans vouchers, Lee Valley Velo Park sessions, experiences and more.

If you haven’t cycled for ages, don’t worry – you only have to ride a bike for 10 minutes or more for your participation to count towards your team’s score. Remember you can ride anywhere, anytime – in the evening or on the weekend. Your business will compete with others right across the capital, to see who can get the highest percentage of staff to give cycling a go.

The Challenge starts soon: 8 – 28 June, so we need your help to encourage participation – starting now!
