Robert Koudelka, Ben Michael, Amie Teakle and Oliver Tatlow-Lord after their ride into Adelaide for work.
Once again Amie Teakle was the catalyst to a work sporting event. She organised for some of us at work to forgo the car for a day and ride to work on our trusty (or rusty in some cases) bicycles. There was a breakfast held in Victoria Square.
On 17 October, regular and first-time riders from all states and territories joined the inaugural National Ride to Work Day. It's been dubbed Australia's biggest ever cycling event, the largest active transport event and a new favourite on the annual workplace calendar.
There were an estimated 90,000 participants in total across Australia.
PHS was proud to have a team of riders join in for the event. The event has even prompted some staff members to ride in everyday since ride to work day. Hopefully next year we can encourage a few more to also take up the challenge.
