Apparently begins next week...? My local authority (and employer) have got a local club involved to do free safety checks on staff bikes. What woukld you do for NCW if ya got the chance? Personally I would prefer work to give me this week off so i can go and ride!!!!!!!! Besides I have not heard much else about NCW..?
We've got the same at work for NCW and they're asking us if anyone can promote the event and staff an area where employees can come and get their bikes checked over.............this is from an employer who wont do the C2W scheme as its 'too much hassle'. Am I missing something? It's a p*ss take. I do hope its a success though and encourages more peeps to commute on their bikes. I'm not too sure how the C2W.....is there a reason why working at a University (funded by central govt) that the C2W scheme cant be done?
Looking at our local stuff (Leeds/ Bradford) it seems mainly aimed at getting non-cyclist or occasional cycles to do more – seems like something of a missed opportunity as its not been widely advertised that I can see
C2W scheme as its 'too much hassle'.
My company said the same - I shouldnt be surprised though it takes them months to decide on anything - too many layers off middle management. I can say pretty surely that they wont do anything next week!

Some companies wont do it or limit the number of people who can apply as it can be a large initial cost for the company to buy the bikes, not to mention the staff time in sorting it all out.
