Cycling to work: What our staff have to say
"I'm delighted to be back at 91É«ÇéƬ because of the contribution my cycling commute makes to my general wellbeing. It's one of the best parts of my job and often the best part of my day. Having half an hour each way to plan for the day ahead or mentally debrief gave me the physical and psychological space to separate my work from my life."
"I try to ride to work as often as I can. I have about a 30-minute ride to work. 100% of the time I finish my ride feeling mentally and physically refreshed. It is the best way to start (or end) the day. I am often zooming past traffic that is stalled. My favourite part of my ride is riding along Alexandria Canal - fish literally jump out of the water, and there are birds everywhere."
"I started riding to work about 13 years ago when I needed to get my now 14-year-old to day care. It was way more efficient than walking or getting the bus, and she absolutely loved riding on the back of the bike. I still ride today because it's quicker than public transport (coming from the inner west), and thanks to new bike lanes along the way, I can avoid most of the traffic. Plus, I get some exercise, fresh air, and, after making it all the way up Hill Street, can start my workday with an endorphin buzz."
