Ride To Work Week is an annual campaign which aims to highlight the benefits of commuting on 2-wheels, of which there are many!
Kicking off a month today on 19th June, it’s a great chance for the motorcycle industry, riders and employers to promote motorcycles and scooters as an excellent alternative to other modes of transport.
The Motorcycle Industry Association, the body which organises the campaign, has recently highlighted 5 of the key benefits of commuting on 2-wheels:
- Time Saving
The average rider is said to save around 300 hours per year when compared to commuting by alternative modes of transport.
- Reduced Expenditure
The cost of an annual commuter season ticket for many popular train journeys in the UK is now often more expensive than the price of many popular commuter type motorcycles and scooters.
- Easier To Park
Motorcycle parking is often less expensive, or even free depending on where you work, and with more potential spaces available you’ll often be able to park closer to your destination.
- Improved Road Skills
Statistics have shown that riding a motorcycle or scooter also helps to make you a better driver.
- More Fun
Riding a motorcycle or scooter to work was recently voted as the least stressful commute option of several major modes of transport.
