The 2011 Bike to Work incentive is aimed at ALL employers and employees working in Dublin City to encourage them to adopt this increasingly popular method of transport. It reported that 40% of car journeys in Dublin are less than 5km. Since the introduction of the Dublin Bike scheme, which is the most successful of its kind in the world, the city has seen an increase of 30% of people travelling by bike.  Bicycle-friendly businesses can benefit from encouraging employees to cycle to work, as research has shown that those who cycle to work are less frequently ill and average less absenteeism than colleagues who do not cycle.

The leisurely lunchtime cycle through the streets of Dublin, will take in the Samuel Beckett Bridge, City Quay, Merrion Square, The Pepper Canister Church and part of the new Premium Cycle Route along the Grand Canal.
