TFL's London Cycle Challenge

They are trying to encorage people to see that short rides (ie to work, to the shops) are a good alterative to pubilc transport, cars ect.

indeed, there's an ad campaign as well.

Shame it's generally the people who drive like cunts think it's too dangerous to cycle on the roads... go figure

Joined, does polo count as a journey?

Yes, but are you allowed to talk about it?

depending on placement 50miles a day.

Also Reen covers a bit of distance.

Yes, but are you allowed to walk about it?

Correct. Increasing the percentage of short trips made by bike is the most important initial gain area. (You wouldn't believe the numbers of local trips of up to 2 miles made by car, for instance.) Ideally, they'd give the most points for trips up to 2 miles (local trips), then 5, etc., but as this is aimed mainly at commuters, it would make commuters with long commutes feel insufficiently rewarded.

in.

I was thinking about doing this. Happy to see LFGSS on here.
Very sad the fact that I won't be able to participate due to an injury.

Was thinking about raking out 30-50 miles a day, but this system is a bit weird, and as Oliver stated above, "it would make commuters with long commutes feel insufficiently rewarded."

Wank.

Anyone know how this is going to be recorded? Somehow in a fair way?

joined too, monies to forum i reckon

I would join in but it would invalidate the entry..

1 day before the start
bump

Joined. Asked some other mates who aren't forum members to join, hope that's cool.

Joined. See you on the roads, people. I'm training for a half IM in September, so I might have to put in some of my miles geared, not fixed.

joined, might as well log everything for a few weeks anyway.

Joined now too. You have to log your miles daily or can they be done retrospectively a day or two later?

just trying to work that lot out.........^^
must all kick in in the morning

In

In, usually do 50miles minimum a week.

In, same for me.

it's up, get loggin! (i'm in the lead! first in too.... )

Right, had some bike problems this morning (and possibly for the rest of the week) so I ran into work instead. Is it morally correct to log the miles seeing as I would have done the distance anyway and I put in a load more effort?

you will burn in hell for ever if you lie.

loggety log log log log log, on the way Jose

I'm in.

And 0.005 tonnes of CO2 saved already.
