Women is a problem for us. We are right down in female cycling numbers.
I like the idea of a lunchtime bozza-bike ride.
Is their one alpha female at the office clive? You need one. An influencer, someone the other women like and can relate to, to lead the charge.
Or, and this is very un-PC of me, is there a woman in the office who wants to lose weight? If you can get one making a noticable improvement the rest will take it up. The trick is to get her onside without insulting or suggesting that her weight is an issue.
Failing a woman, a man whom the women like - not fancy - but who regularly has interacts with them and who is seen to be on a simillar level would fit the bill. -
how did it go clive? I was going to add to this but most of the issues have been covered. I know a firm in central london that bought a fleet of bromptons and that's worked really well - to go to client meetings employees are encouraged to cycle. I believe that this is has been complimented by regular maintenance and allowances for maintenance for employee bikes at the chosen shop (discounts on tyres, tubes and labour)
As for women cycling. I hate to say it, but fear and vanity were the two most important factors in the decision to cycle in to work in the last studies I read. (in 2007) and I can honestly say I believe it.
Additionally a short employee ride durring lunch times would probably get new cyclists more confident.

I'm making a new soup today. Parsnip and ginger.
I sauteed oinions and garlic in the base, then added half the parsnip and cooked til golden. The added the remaining parsnip, the chunks of ginger a nutmeg a sprig of thyme and some homemade stock. Its now simmering for an hour. Then I'll remove the ginger and nutmeg and puree the rest.
It already smells really nice... can't wait. -

Prizes all courtesy of Nude roastry.Nude won the best coffee competition in 2010 and they have now openend their roastry just off brick lane.
The prize for the competition and the raffle are almost certainly going to be coffee beans :)
