Cyclescheme were excellent partners

The Highland Council contracted with Cyclescheme to administer a Bike to Work scheme in May 2006. The scheme ran for two months (longer than envisaged) and proved very popular with our 12 000 employees. Our Employees found the system easy to use, and Cyclescheme knew their market very well and are committed bikes people rather than simply a finance driven operation. Using local bike shops as the source of product is key to this. Cyclescheme were excellent partners in the day to day administration of the scheme, and took real trouble to relate what they did to The Highland Council's unique area. I would recommend Cyclescheme to any Organisation who wants to reap the benefits of a bike to work scheme.

Fancy riding 2000 miles to work?

2008-05-28 16:20:09

How about this as a suggestion for what to do in your leisure time to put a few miles onto your commuter bike? Bath cyclist Derek Fisher is attempting a 2000 mile ride on his own, i.e. without backup, from Lands End to John O'Groats and then back home! He is starting on the 21st May and hopes to finish by the 14th June 2008. Derek is collecting for the Children's Hospice South West. We saw Derek locally on day six, having just completed the loop from Bath to Lands End and back. Donations can be made at: www.justgiving.com/derekfisher Latest news from last Sunday: Hi everyone, Derek Fisher reached Perth on Saturday enjoying fine, warm weather with light winds. Using roads avoiding the A9 Derek rode through very scenic countryside which made for an enjoyable day. His B&B was about 30 miles north of Perth. Sunday saw Derek enjoy another fine day for his ride to Inverness. His overnight stay was about 12 miles north of Inverness. The next leg will take him up towards Wick and the weather forecast is good for at least the next couple of days. Hi Richard, just a short note to say that Derek reached John-O-Groats on Sunday with pretty awful weather. Today,Monday, saw him start the journey home but I think the weather is about to get a lot worse but I am sure he will carry on. Cheers for now Tony T. Tuesday saw Derek thro` Bonnar Bridge then the north coast to Bettyhill Down to Laig. The weather was dry, wet, dry but he says` he is fine and on schedule. It looks as though the weather may hold fair for the next couple of days at least. More news as I receive it. Tony T. Derek is making good progress on his epic ride. Yesterday, 4th. he rode from Lairg to Fort William in glorious weather and he said he had a most enjoyable ride. Today, Thurs. 15th. he rode up over Ranoch Moor and Glencoe where the weather was good and then heading south along the banks of Loch Lomond to Glasgow. Here he was soaked in a cloud burst!! But says` he enjoyed the day. Tony T. Friday; Derek covered a hard ride today from Glasgow to Carlisle. He says it was a bumpy road but at least the weather was kind. Again today, Saturday, the weather was warm, sunny and with a tail wind, which assisted derek over Shap fell and on through Lancaster to his overnight stop at Preston. He says that it is a short ride tomorrow when he goes to stay with his daughter in Manchester. More as I get it . Tony T. I had a message from Derek at about 18-00 hrs. today saying that he had enjoyed an excellent ride through the Wye valley on the last day of his epic charity ride. Derek covered 1875 miles in the 21 days of the trip and the weather was mostly fine. Those of us who attend the Tuesday rides had better be on form, if Derek shows up I feel shore he will be able to set a good speed and for most of the day!! This will be the last message on this subject, but the website to send donations is; www.justgiving.com/derekfisher Cheers and take care everyone, Tony T.
