Ride to Work Day 2024
Ride To Work Day is an international campaign promoted in the UK by The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG).
MAG advocates the use of motorcycles and scooters for travel to work, by providing information about the benefits of utility riding.
A spokesperson for MAG said: “Motorcycles are a key part of a multi-modal and sustainable transport future. They provide social, economic and environmental benefits in a world currently dominated by the car.
“More commuters are turning to motorcycles as a better solution than the car. Motorcycles offer a way to fill the gap between active travel and public transport without relying on the car.”
The international campaign originated in America in 1992 and is now held annually on the second Tuesday in June.
It promotes a wide range of benefits including reducing congestion for all road users, reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality in towns and cities.
“In addition, reduced congestion will improve mental wellbeing for work forces and create massive economic savings for the country,” added the spokesperson.
“Ride to work – you may be surprised by how much time and money you save. Not only that, as a rider you will have much more fun!
“If you still want to stay in your car, please remember to look out for and give space to those that are riding.”
