The National Ride to Work Day held on 15 October was aimed at encouraging commuters from every state and territory in Australia to discover the benefits of riding to work.
This year, there was another reason for participants to get on their bike! Those who rode to work on National Ride to Work Day and donated the amount saved on car parking, petrol or public transport, raised funds for Baker IDI Heart & Diabetes Institute. Donations received will provide essential funds for our research into diabetes, heart disease and obesity. A proportion will also be used by event organisers Bicycle Victoria to further develop the National Ride to Work Day Program.
