In case your wondering or can't sleep at night ... here's a bit of background I put together for Cycling England when it still looked like they would give up some serious hard cash to support cycling here in Leicester - http://www.dft.gov.uk/cyclingengland/2007/12/personality-of-the-month-andy-salkeld-leicester-city-council/

Leicester Cycle Challenge

The Leicester Cycle Challenge was a free, fun competition to encourage people to remember the joys of riding a bike. The aim of the Challenge was to get as many work colleagues as possible to ride a bike for just 10 minutes over the three week Challenge period, from Monday 10 to Sunday 30 May 2010.

We plan to run it again in 2011.
