More than 70 major public and private sector employers have pledged to implement a new Cycle to Work Guarantee in a bid to get more women to put on their ladies fitness wear and cycle to and from work.

By signing up to the Cycle to Work Guarantee, public and private sector employers are committing to provide their staff with safe bike storage and facilities for women to change out of their ladies fitness wear.

Workers will also get access to the government's generous tax break scheme - Cycle to Work - for new bikes and cycling equipment.

The guarantee is being promoted by government and employers together to offer employees a healthy and green option to get to and from work.

According to the Department for Transport, a third or more of staff working for large urban employers live within half an hour bike ride of their place of work, but only about three per cent currently cycle.

Research by the University of California published earlier this month found that women can have the heart and metabolism of someone 16 years younger by putting on ladies fitness wear and riding their bikes every day for twelve weeks. ADNFCR-2569-ID-19433245-ADNFCR
