Nesta, Challenge for Change and Cycling Touring Club (CTC) have launched a Workplace Cycle Challenge Prize to increase the number of people cycling to and from work in the UK.

Since 2008 Challenge for Change and CTC have run 34 workplace cycling programmes engaging with more than 50,000 people from 2,100 organisations. These programmes are proven to be highly successful at:

• Encouraging non-cyclists to take up cycling
• Encouraging occasional cyclists to start cycling regularly and
• Encouraging more people to cycle for transport

The Workplace Cycle Challenge Prize called on all UK workplaces with more than 10 employees to come up with new ways of increasing the number of employees cycling to and from work. 

We will award the winner a prize of £25,000.

Judges may also decide to recognise a runner up innovation or innovations at their discretion.

A total of £25,000 development will also be awarded across competitors.
