• DEDICATED cyclists at Richmond Council have clocked up a wheely great score of more than 13,600 miles in this year's TFL Workplace Cycle Challenge, putting the team in the top 20 across London.
As well as the Council's cyclists, 12 other teams based in Richmond upon Thames took part, riding a total of 54,151 miles in one month, the seventh most active borough in London.
The riders have been praised by Cllr David Trigg, Richmond Council's Cabinet Member for Traffic, Travel and Parking: "This is a great sign of the Council's staff, and those from private companies and organisations, leading by example - the teams have done incredibly well. It's great to see they have really taken to heart our commitment to using environmentally friendly forms of transport. They've all found out that getting around by bike is quick, cheap and good for them, and hopefully a large number will now be leaving their cars at home to make the journey to work."
