The ‘Wonderers’ team from the University of Limerick has won first place amongst all 186 workplace teams representing 52 organisations across Ireland who took part in this year’s National Transport Authority Smarter Workplaces Cycle Challenge.
The Workplace Cycle Challenge encourages employees to form teams and compete with colleagues and with other workplaces to see who can gain the most cycling points during this three week event. Each team was required to have a novice cyclist on board to encourage new cyclists and those who had been off the bike for six months or more. Points were awarded for leisure and social trips with extra points awarded for work related trips.
