BACKGROUND The Department for Transport (DfT) are looking for proven approaches that towns/cities/regions can get up and running quickly upon being awarded a Transition Fund grant. The DfT has been funding our Cycle Challenges for the last 8 years, initially as part of the Cycling Demonstration Towns project and more recently through LSTF. Over that time we have refined and enhanced our approach and the results speak for themselves. LOVETORIDE Love to Ride is the online platform and proven behaviour change programme that gets more people cycling. We have been working across the UK since 2008 and have run more than 150 projects worldwide, in 9 countries with more than 8,000 organisations and 168,000 people. 31% of new riders and 32% of non-commuting existing riders start riding to work weekly (as measured 3 months post Challenge). TIMING A full 11 month rolling programme of activity and engagement has been created to grow cycling locally as part of your broader sustainable travel programme. MAY AUG NOV JUN SEP DEC FEB JUL OCT JAN MAR Kick-Off! Ride to Work Week June Bike Week National Cycle Challenge Timeline: TransitionFundCyclingProgramme June- Bike Week Promotion: Encourage people to ride during Bike Week and take part in Bike Week events. Encourage people at events to log their ride on your local Love to Ride site to go into the prize draw. This grows your database and gets these people included in your monitoring because they fill out a short baseline and follow-up surveys. September- National Cycle Challenge: will run throughout September 2016. Workplaces will compete against each other to see which can encourage the most staff to ride a bike. This proven programme includes live league tables, prizes, evaluation, and a comprehensive local marketing and engagement campaign. Ride to Work Week: Spring is in the air and what better time to give riding to work a go. This campaign is a great way to discover riding to work and for those that already commute by bike, an opportunity to get into the habit of riding daily, and encourage others to try it out too.
