What is Cycle September?

Cycle September has one simple mission - to get more people riding bikes and having a great time!

Riders of every level are invited to participate. Getting out there in the fresh air and encouraging others is more important than the number of miles you ride.

You can also unleash your competitive side with our fun and friendly workplace competition. Co-workers can join their workplace profile on Love to Ride and compete to earn the most points and top the local leaderboard in their size category.

The campaign is a great way to engage communities, businesses and individuals in a fun challenge that will help them meet their health, wellness, and sustainability goals.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Everyone is invited – from regular riders to people who haven’t been on a bike in years (or ever!)
• Individuals only have to ride once to enter the prize draws and help their workplace climb the leaderboard (long enough to experience the joy of riding a bike and overcome some mental barriers to riding, and short enough to be an easy first step to taking up riding)
• You can ride anywhere any time – from a commute to work, to a trip to the store, to a ride around the park
• Earn points by riding and encouraging others – the more points you have, the more chances you have to win prizes. Plus, the workplaces with the most points will top their local leaderboards in their size category
• Share the love - encouragement is at the core of Cycle September, and we want people to invite their co-workers, friends, and family to participate
• There are lots of prizes to be won by participating and encouraging others to discover or rediscover the joys and benefits of riding a bike
• Cycle September is based on a tried and tested model – we’ve engaged over 700,000 people worldwide, including over 160,000 new riders who report having never ridden a bike or only ridden a few times in the last year
