Love to Ride Cycling Platform

Aldgate Connect BID teams up with Love to Ride to promote active travel with fun cycling challenges and an innovative online platform.

Following the establishment of our new partnership, Aldgate businesses and their staff can enjoy free access to Love to Ride’s cycling encouragement platform.

We’ve partnered with Love to Ride, as we are both dedicated to promoting active travel and healthy lifestyles with its engaging cycling challenges and cutting-edge technology. Since its inception, more than 700,000 riders worldwide have used Love to Ride and joined its friendly and inclusive online cycling community.

We’re on a mission to inspire more people to get on their bikes and enjoy the benefits of cycling, from saving money to improving overall well-being. Workplace challenges such as the Bike Month Challenge and Cycle September cater to riders of all levels, enabling participating businesses to compete on local and national leaderboards and offering riders the chance to win great prizes, just for riding their bikes.

In addition to its impactful initiatives, Love to Ride employs a comprehensive online platform that seamlessly integrates journey-tracking technology, community engagement, and an incentive system to make cycling an accessible and enjoyable choice for everyone.

The platform enables people to effortlessly record their rides, set goals, earn badges, and connect and share their experiences with others. Furthermore, riders have access to a wealth of resources to help boost their confidence on the road, including tips, informative articles and Quick Courses. Plus, the new ‘Rate My Routes’ feature enables riders to contribute to citizen science by giving comfort ratings to the routes they ride.

In addition to this, businesses will have the opportunity to create their own workplace pages, allowing staff to connect through cycling, as well as measure the impact that cycling is having on their health and the planet!
