What could your workplace do tomorrow that would make you more likely to cycle to work?

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

Miracle drug. Ask your doctor about bicycling today.

If you're looking for New Years Resolutions, what better than committing to cycling to work?

Better for your pocket. Better for your health, Better for the environment!

@MarkW_E @IAmKuriousBrown @FoEHull @HullHospitals @Hullccnews @East_Riding Have you asked the hospital to write to the council?

Healthier staff are happier staff @NHS

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

Dutch companies pay their employees to commute to work by bike.

Cyclists can claim EUR 0.21 per km off their tax bill. On a regular bike, employees cycle an average of 9 kilometers back and forth in the Netherlands.

That’s about €450 a year.

Great initiative from colleagues cycling in support of clean air!

"Polluted air is highly toxic, causes the NHS a lot of harm and is costing the NHS a lot of money"

Cycling along one of the greenest cycle lanes in London.🌿It has over 600m2 of rain gardens with #SuDS and 1000s of plants. Wouldn’t be amazing if all new cycle lanes could incorporate greenery like this? @willnorman @Labourstone @wfcouncil @TfL

Why not visit your Local Bike Shop this weekend to get your bike ready for summer?! #LocalBikeShopDay

Active travel isn't just a 'nice to have'. ⚠️
Walking and cycling is worth an estimated £36.5 billion to the UK economy annually and is how millions of people get to work, go to the shops and travel around healthily, cheaply, and emissions-free.

Still plenty to be done, but just some examples of good practice from a major London hospital 🙏

Infrastructure choices are political. Ask your local politicians to support walking and cycling:

[Jon Burke 🌍 @jonburkeUK]

For the £2 billion earmarked for the Silvertown Tunnel, London could deliver 1,300km of fully-segregated cycle lanes in London; drastically reducing surface transport emissions, relieving congestion, improving road safety, and reducing public health costs.

Let's do that instead.
