On 17 October, regular and first-time riders from all states and territories will join the inaugural National Ride to Work Day. Government and corporate organisations from around Australia have made the commitment to join this huge event. Estimated participation this year is:

• Over 60,000 participants
• Over 2800 registered workplaces, many hosting their own breakfasts
• More than 70 community breakfast events in CBDs and town centres

National Ride to Work Day will stimulate over 10,600 tonnes of Greenhouse Gas savings in the first three years - that’s more than 2,650 hot air balloons or 212,000,000 “black balloons” full of CO2!
