Love to Ride gives your business healthier, happier, more productive staff. With an online cycling programme used by more than 8,000 companies worldwide, Love to Ride knows a thing or two about how to encourage cycling amongst staff. We know that there are a whole host of benefits to riding a bike, whether it’s for fun, fitness or to commute. That’s why we are inviting all businesses and organisations across Lancashire to register with Love to Ride at lovetoride.net/lancashire.

Love to Ride is an online behaviour change platform which supports individuals, workplaces, and communities to ride their bikes, and we have been working in partnership with Lancashire County Council to offer this for free to everyone in the county since 2018. Using behaviour change principles, we educate, incentivise, and run fun campaigns to support more people to ride.

Regardless of whether you want to bring your colleagues together for team building, encourage staff to take care of their health and wellbeing, or deal with parking issues, Love to Ride is for you. Everyone can get involved, whether they’re working remotely, in the office, full-time, or part-time. It doesn't matter if you ride every day or haven't been on a bike in years. Your staff can ride anywhere to take part in our fun challenges.

Once registered, your staff can join your Workplace Profile where you can track your collective CO2 savings, mileage, participation levels, and much more to really show your impact. By taking part, you’ll be demonstrating your organisation’s commitment to tackling climate change as well as supporting health and wellbeing.

For each of our four annual campaigns, we offer amazing prizes, as well as the encouragement and support to enable staff to feel confident to start their riding journey or ride more often. There’s plenty of inspiration too - with photos and stories from riders across the globe and badges to unlock as they ride and gain skills. Our site has numerous top tip articles to boost knowledge, as well as Quick Courses for gaining riding skills.

Our programme is ready to roll. We make it fun and easy to get everyone signed up and we’ll keep your whole team on track with personalised guidance tailored to each individual’s needs. We’re experts in engaging employees in our fun and easy programmes with proven results, and we make it as easy as possible to get your staff involved and ready to ride by providing campaign-specific Promotional Packs.

Our current campaign is Cycle September, the global workplace challenge – it’s not too late to join the fun! Rides can be back dated from 1st Sept to 30th Sept.
