Any Workplace Cycling Champions Here?

[cosmicbike]

My employer is running a workplace cycling champion scheme, and next week I'm meeting up with a Sustrans chap for a chat about it.
Anyone on here do it?

A whatnow?

Who have you had to beat for that title @cosmicbike ?
Will you wear a rainbow clipboard or something?

 

[Shortandcrisp]

I was the Post Office National sea angling champion in 1991. Does that count?

 

[Globalti]

I see you're in Surrey. Shame. Still, I suppose you can egham all on....

 

[Slick]

I've got a long brown overcoat.

Nah, just kidding. Sounds interesting, theres a few at my work would benefit from being encouraged out their cars and onto a bike. Might be something i could bring up at the next team meeting.

I'm well known as the cyclist who got his spine broken.

I'm assuming that a work based champion didn't actually win anything, but more to encourage more trips includes the use of a bike?

No, but I do get a shiny helmet. And I don't recall beating anyone, though I was first to the coffee machine this morning...

You can have a groan for that

I think this is what it's actually about. The Sustrans site has a few bits of info. Would seem based on the responses so far that it's not widely known about..

I've never heard of it either to be honest. My employer is one of those nationals that are desperate to be seen to do the right thing. I'll be very disappointed if I can't talk myself into a position over the next couple of months.

 

[Drago]

I once ate a can of Champion for a bet. Does that count?

Seriously though, well done and good luck.

I know that Bristol City Council/Sustrans have run some kind of scheme where by boxes of stuff are given to workplaces such as pumps, lights, repair kits and locks for cyclists to borrow! I've even borrowed a lock from a kit that was in our office when I turned up without a lock one time. I've no idea what the company had to do to get the kit.

Keep us informed @cosmicbike , it could be interesting.
