About Ride it Out
Ride it Out is a challenge designed to motivate riders, new and seasoned, to enjoy all the benefits of biking. From the physical and mental benefits through to the fun and adventurous, riding a bike is a great way to help people get healthier and happier whilst helping the planet too. It’s a great way to grow participation significantly at the start of the biking season and support people to ride their bikes when they need it the most. Together we can prepare people for a long spring and summer of cycling.
Here’s some info to get started:
● Ride it Out is a month-long challenge to motivate riders to enjoy all the benefits of biking as the weather begins to improve. Hello spring!
● It’s a tough old world out there right now but we know that getting more people to ride their bikes can help. From health and fitness benefits to reducing stress and anxiety, bikes are a great tool to help people through lockdown and emerge with new fun habits.
● Everyone can join in – it doesn’t matter if people ride every day or haven’t been on a bike in years, they just register at lovetoride.net.
● Each week will have a different theme designed to help people rediscover the joys of cycling as restrictions ease (hopefully) and the weather warms.
● We’ll have some exciting prizes on offer for riders who take part…more on that soon!
Ride it Out is split into 4 weeks, each with its own motivation to start riding a bike.
Week 1 – Ride HEALTHY – an opportunity to saddle up and enjoy the all the awesome health & fitness benefits of biking like living longer, sleeping better and boosting your immune system.
Week 2 – Ride RELAXED – an invitation to shift down a gear and appreciate the wellbeing aspects of riding a bike. We’ll be slowing the pace to destress, reconnect with the outdoors and (restrictions permitting) share a ride with someone else.
Week 3 – Ride GREEN – a chance to trial switching a regular car or public transport journey to bike. It’s a challenge that’s great for the planet and frees up room on public transport for key workers!
Week 4 – Ride FREE – a week of adventure! Big or small, this week is about doing something or going somewhere new by bike.
