It's cycle to work day.

The cycle to work people have a load of swag to distribute to people who 'pledged' their ride today. The less who bothered, the better the chances of winning. Happy days.

haha that's a good thought! I am holding my own personal cycle to work next week now! lol

No more cyclists than usual on this mornings commute. Looking out the window at the bike racks they are actually more empty than usual. Don't believe any incentives were offered here, and anyway, only those who commute regularly by bike should be rewarded, not the one off wonders..

None. And I walked in.

Not one extra bike in our office bike shed today.

No additional commuters, in fact the guy I normally pass and exchange nods with was a no-show

Didn't see anyone I've not seen before.

My employer laid on free breakfast for anyone cycling which is good. We've done it before a few times and I usually organise it. We've had more cyclists today than a typical day but all of them are regulars.

What most amuses me is the reactions of some non-cycling colleagues which have ranged from "it's OK for you but you can't expect me to cycle to work. I live TEN miles away" to "well that's just farking ridiculous, imagine riding a bicycle just to save £3" and I'll never forget the one woman last year who quite angrily accused me of some kind of discrimination "Well, that's just not fair. It's discrimination against cars and I demand a free breakfast".

ho hum

"Well, that's just not fair. It's discrimination against cars and I demand a free breakfast".

Did she burn up the calories in the breakfast coming in to work?

Drive to work day for me. No more cycle to work days ever.

I only met one person at work today who has probably cycled in for the first time this year, I think this as only a complete novice would cycle in this weather into London in leg warmers and a waterproof. When he took his waterproof off he looked like a drowned rat underneath.

I saw no other cyclists - which is less than usual.

I was asked by two women on bikes (clearly newbies) if I was riding to some cafe for the free breakfast, erm no, I'm running late for work (again!).

You should have tagged along, you were already late, you wouldn't want to be hungry as well, would you?

I didn't see any more people cycling today than usual. Although the bike rack in work did have more than the usual number of bikes in it.
