Why Ride2Work matters
One commute can change the rhythm of your day.
National Ride2Work Day is a simple invitation to try the trip by bike and discover what a more active commute can feel like.
Improve your wellbeing
Build regular physical activity into your day and arrive at work feeling energised.
Save time and money
Turn your commute into exercise while reducing spending on fuel, parking and public transport.
Reduce congestion and emissions
Every trip made by bike helps ease pressure on Canberra's roads and lowers transport emissions.
Create a bike-friendly Canberra
More people riding strengthens the case for safer routes, better connections and improved workplace bike facilities.
Prizes on the day
More reasons to ride in.
Canberra businesses are contributing prizes for the Ride2Work Day morning.
