Whether you’re an avid cyclist or a bike beginner who’s looking to fit some exercise into your day, Wednesday 12 October is your chance to start your day in a healthy way by participating in the University’s annual Ride2Uni Day event.

This is the tenth year that the University has supported the national Ride2Work Day initiative and Nathan Stevens of Ride2Work says Macquarie is consistently one of state’s most enthusiastic participants.

“Macquarie University is one of the top five sites in New South Wales for riding on the day of the event,” he notes.

Did you know? 

• Cycling is a low-impact activity that is easier on the joints than walking.
• Cycling burns around 105 kilojoules per kilometre.
• It takes 100 times more energy to build a car than to build a bicycle.

As usual, participating Macquarie staff and students will be rewarded for their pedal-pushing with a free delicious breakfast. The Department of Chiropractic will also be on hand at the finish line to offer stretch sessions, massages and consultations.

Register now to participate in Ride2UniDay and enjoy a free breakfast. You can also view suggested cycle routes to the campus or connect with other people riding on the day.
