'Cycle to Work Day' aims to highlight the benefits of cycling as a transport
choice and encourages people to cycle more often. It attracted over 1 million
people to take part across the country in 2015.
This year (2016), Wirral Council's Business Travel Solution's team is providing an even
greater incentive for local people and businesses to get involved. They are
offering £150 of Love2shop vouchers as prizes for those who take part.
The prize draw is open to both residents and businesses. All individuals must
work in Wirral and businesses must have premises in Wirral.

½ day 'Dr
Bike' event for their organisation. The events are held by trained mechanics
