Bikemiles

[Mr Haematocrit]

Below is the blurb from the website, but its an interesting idea imho....

you will now be able to start logging your cycle journeys and accumulating BikeMiles®; a currency like air miles, but with bikes. For every mile you cycle, you get 1 BikeMile® assigned to your personal account. Whether you regularly commute more than 20 miles a day, or only a few miles once a week, there will be a host of rewards and offers available to you ranging from as little as 9 BikeMiles® and upwards.

Though if you don't already have a mycyclescheme account, you can't participate.

Always a downside unfortunately, but anything which encourages people to step out of their cars and ride is a really good thing imho no matter how few the number

Yes, you're right, of course. Just a shame for the rest.

Does this mean that your employer can now make sure you use your bike for commuting and not just for the weekends

It's a good idea for those who are registered though. My employer won't entertain such a scheme despite constant badgering.

That's pretty good. Shame it's limited to CycleScheme, would be nice if it worked on Ride2Work as well!

or just to anyone who can get there employeer to voch that they cycle to work? would be great for some us long commuter ( 30 miles a day + would make it very nice indeed)

I think I remembered to do it for a whole week and then lost interest... still I could add all the rides since I suppose

I got bored too. From what I remember you were also limited to the number of miles logged in a day. Stick with Endomondo ta.
