Citizens:mk members and partners and accredited Living Wage employers, are invited to participate in a fun competition to ride a bicycle in March, Ride It Out.
It requires leaders to register their organisation as a ‘Workplace’ here, then encourage their colleagues to register individually as members of both their ‘Workplace’ and the ‘Group’ Cycling CitizensMK (see how)…then go for a ride! Every ride will be added to both the organisation/workplace’s and Cycling CitizensMK’s total.
Leaders were asked to lead the way by riding a bicycle on Monday 1st March, and post a tweet or email for our website saying what was good about being on a bike. See how to do it.
Leaders committed so far (underlined if organisation is registered on Love To Ride, italicised if unconfirmed).
