We are encouraging local businesses to support their employees who want to commute to work actively. We can deliver practical advice on facilities, free workshops to increase bike confidence as well as bike maintenance skills sessions.
Participants can also benefit from a trial fitness membership at Newport Live to help keep them in tip-top condition for commuting by bike.
Nominate your employer and help your colleagues benefit from free Newport Live bike workshops, bike skills and confidence sessions. We simply need your employer’s name and details of the best person to speak to (HR or your Employee Wellbeing / Active Travel Champion would be ideal) then the Momentwm Team will get in touch.
