WORKPLACES in York have a week to enter a competition to encourage their staff to ride bikes.

More than 81 businesses and 1,500 people will take to the streets from July 1 to 21 July for the 2013 York Cycle Challenge in the hope of winning a bike worth £1,000.

Participants can cycle anywhere they like, anytime they like, over the three-week period and organisations that can encourage the largest uptake of staff to bike ride for only ten minutes or more will win prizes.
