As part of the Caltag Medsystems Green Initiative, we have signed up for a cycle to work scheme. Not only will this help cut our carbon emissions caused by driving to work, but will also help us keep any new-year fitness resolutions!
We ended up using CycleScheme.co.uk, but there are lots of options out there. It doesn’t just allow you to save money on a new bike, but also all the accessories as well!
If your workplace is not already signed up – why not see if you can also join?
Here’s an embarrassing photo to show how committed we are to becoming greener:
