Trust staff get on their bikes for annual cycle to work day

Transcript

00:00Well, it's a bit of me time. So when I'm on the bike, I'm not thinking about work, I'm

00:07not thinking about family, I'm just thinking about the next hill that I'm going up, or

00:10keeping an eye on the traffic. So it's just a good way to be in the moment. I've been

00:13cycling to work for about 15 years now. There's a whole raft of reasons, but first and foremost,

00:17it's just a bit of exercise. So trying to find time in the day to fit in exercise can

00:22be tough when family and work. So the time that you'd otherwise be sitting in the car,

00:26it's just as handy to jump on the bike. Well, give it a try. You can get a fairly cheap

00:31bike these days, a couple of hundred pounds gets you on the road. And when you think about

00:34it, it'll be a month or two's worth of petrol, so you're not losing out. Get on the bike

00:38and give it a go. You've got the bus lanes, you've got the Cumbra Greenway, come up to

00:41the hospital here. Lots of good access routes that you're not on the traffic. Gives you

00:45an opportunity to get a bit of exercise in, save a few quid in travel time and travel

00:49costs. And also just, it's a feel-good factor of knowing you've done something before you

00:53start your day.
