The Cardiff Cycle Challenge

Join the Challenge

Have you spotted more bikes around Cardiff recently? Are you thinking about joining in the fun and getting back on yours? The Cardiff Cycle Challenge is back for a second year - it is a free competition to remind people working and living in Cardiff of the freedom and fun you experience riding a bike. It takes just 10 minutes to get involved and start feeling the benefits.

The Challenge is a chance for you and your workmates to get on your bikes and have some fun competing against other workplaces within the heart of Cardiff. If you don't have a bike, don't worry, you can borrow one from us or have small bike repairs done for free.

The competition is based on participation (not how far or fast you can cycle). The aim is to recruit as many of your workmates as possible to ride a bike for at least 10 minutes between Monday 2 July to Sunday 22 July 2012 to reach the top of the leader board, claim victory and be rewarded with prizes!

How to take part

Follow these four steps:

1. Ride a bike anywhere, anytime for at least 10 minutes between Monday 2 July and Sunday 22 July 2012.

2. Record your bike trip here.

3. Recruit workmates, friends and family - tell them about the Challenge here.

4. Reward yourself and your friends by winning prizes!
