Cycling in the City Program a huge success Participants in the City’s Cycling in the City program were recognised at a cycling breakfast at Customs House this week.
More than 30 representatives of the ten government and corporate organisations that took part in the program attended the event, with most arriving by bike.
Councillor Shayne Mallard, himself a keen cyclist, presented certificates to the organisations and also launched the City’s 10-year cycle strategy, which is currently on public exhibition.
More than 100 cyclists have cycled more than 31,000kms on their journeys to work over the 12-week program, which provides peer support to help more people ride their bicycles to work on a regular basis. Participating organizations included ANZ, Westpac, the Australian Taxation Office and City of Sydney.
This stage of the Cycling in the City program has been a huge success, with more than 95 per cent of the participating cyclists indicating they will continue to ride to work and all ten organisations committing to supporting their cyclists in the future.
Major bike groups also attended the event to extend their thanks to the fledgling cyclists, who also received a free breakfast.
