Ambassadors

A growing list of Ambassadors are helping to spread the bike riding buzz. If you are a Senior Manager and high profile members of the Community who endorses the concept of riding to work, make Ride to Work Day - 13 October 2010 an event on the company calendar, motivate and spread the word.

Ambassadors are listed on the Ride to Work website and may also receive the opportunity to speak to the local media about what they do to support bike commuting in their workplace.
