Cycle September is coming to Aldgate!

Boost health and fitness, have fun and win prizes with Love to Ride’s annual biking challenge

Aldgate Connect BID has partnered with Love to Ride to bring a fun, free biking challenge to Aldgate, starting 1^st September 2024. Powered by Love to Ride’s game-changing app, Cycle September has one simple mission – to get more people to enjoy the benefits of riding bikes.

By logging their bike trips on Love to Ride, riders across Aldgate can win great prizes, like £2,000 cash! Riders of every level are invited to participate and can ride anywhere, anytime in September – even a 10-minute ride around the park will enter you into the draws. Getting out in the fresh air and encouraging others is more important than the number of miles you ride.

Workplaces can also unleash their competitive side with our fun and friendly workplace competition. Co-workers can join their workplace profile on Love to Ride and compete to earn the most points and top the Aldgate Connect leaderboard in their size category.

Zoe Barwick, Director of Aldgate Connect said, “We’re delighted to be bringing Love to Ride to Aldgate. The Cycle September campaign is a fantastic initiative that promotes environmental sustainability, improved mental and physical health, and helps to champion a sense of community and healthy competition amongst our local businesses and residents! Aldgate Connect BID is excited to see the positive impact that this campaign has on the local area and beyond.”

Here’s how to get involved:

• Sign up and register for the challenge at lovetoride.net
• Log your rides using the Love to Ride app. Download the app for Apple or Android devices – you can even turn on auto logging!
• Earn points – ride your bike and encourage others to earn points. More points = more entries into the draws

There are so many benefits to riding a bike: from improved mental and physical well-being to a healthier planet to more affordable and efficient travel. Cycle September is all about celebrating each of these benefits and sharing them with the world.

So, push those pedals, spread the bike love, and join the movement to get more people riding bikes this September! Join the fun now at lovetoride.net.
