Did you join the other 360 people in Dorset taking part in
the Love to Ride Momentum Spring Promo?
Kirsty Denning did and she won a Brompton....just for riding a bike for
10 minutes!
59 organisations took part in this workplace cycling
promotion across Dorset, and over 2000 rides were logged, totalling 17,293
miles!
Supported by the Business Travel Network, the aim of the
promo was to get people on their bikes and enjoying the benefits of cycling,
and it was a great success!
12% of participants hadn’t ridden a bike in over a year! 71% of trips were made to and from the
workplace. A total of 3,663kg of carbon was saved and
1.8million KJ of energy burnt over the 2 week promotion.
Kirsty Denning who works at ASM Systems Ltd in Weymouth won
the main prize, a Brompton, sponsored by Pedals Cycle Centre in
Ferndown. There were 40 other winners
including Richard Houston form the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals
who won a Platypus Camel Pack, Evie Prescott from the RNLI who won a FitBit
Charge HR, 30 participants won a year’s Ride Membership for British Cycling,
and Rachel Alcock-Hodgson from Dorset County Council who won the photo
competition and receives a voucher for ‘Pizza and a Pint for 2’ at The Stable.
