Plan your Rambles, grab your materials, then launch. Everything here is ready to use.
Group admins: upload your wordmark and brand color in your Profile, then download the print-ready Group Kit from your Dashboard's "Share Your Group" bar - plus ready-to-send announcements. Each live Ramble also has its own poster under Actions → Marketing materials.
Open your DashboardWork top to bottom: plan with the checklist, then launch with your materials and announcements - five numbered steps in all. Every template is 90% done - replace the [PLACEHOLDER] fields with your details and go.
Assign a Program Champion first - one person (HR, sustainability lead, or an enthusiastic cyclist) who owns the rollout. Everything below is built for them.
Six decisions and you're ready. Most teams get through them in one 30-minute session with their HR or sustainability lead.
Four rules from programs that work:
Pick: Visit one location on a ride
Reward riders for cycling to a place that matters: your office, your shop, a scenic spot. One visit is all it takes.
Pick: Visit one location over time
Set a visits target for the period, like riding in 8 times a month, and everyone who hits it earns a flat credit. Counting visits rather than kilometers means short rides count equally.
Pick: Visit multiple locations on a ride
String your locations together: riders visit all of them, or any few you choose (say 3 of 5), on a single ride. Great for events and multi-site days.
Pick: Visit locations as a group
Set a whole-group target, say 150 visits in the month. Hit it and everyone who rode shares the win: a team breakfast, or a small voucher each. Riders encourage each other instead of competing.
Pick: Pedal for Good
The group donates £1 to a local charity for every qualifying ride, capped at a monthly budget. Every ride counts for something, and it feeds your sustainability story.
Pick: Leaderboard (CO2 saved)
Top 3 by CO2 saved in the month, e.g. £25 / £15 / £10. CO2 reflects distance and the transport replaced, so steady short-distance riders can place, and it keeps sustainability front and center.
Pick: Leaderboard (Distance)
Top 3 riders by distance ridden in the month, e.g. £25 / £15 / £10 vouchers. Rewards the riders covering the most ground, however and wherever they ride.
Good to know: most prizes settle themselves. Award emails go out automatically when a rider hits their target, the group reaches its goal, or the leaderboard period ends.
Your print-ready materials are generated inside the product, branded with the wordmark and color from your Group Profile.
Dashboard > Share Your Group > Download Group Kit (PDF)
One-page A4 poster for your whole group: why join, setup steps with App Store and Google Play QR codes, and your group join QR with access code. It comes with a prefilled announcement email and a short blurb, ready to copy.
Tip: Print for bike storage, reception, and break rooms. It stays accurate all year - no dates on it.
Rambles > Actions > Marketing materials (on any live Ramble)
A one-page poster for a single Ramble: the pitch in your own words, dates, reward, and a QR straight to its public page. The share sheet includes launch and mid-Ramble reminder emails plus a short blurb.
Tip: Put one up for each Ramble you launch, and refresh it when a new period starts.
Send this to people managers a few days before the announcement - they're your best amplifiers. Copy it into an email or your managers channel: what the program is, why the company is doing it, and five specific things managers should do.
Copy the plain-text version below for a personal send from your champion, or download the HTML version for Mailchimp, HubSpot, or company-wide distribution lists.
Before you send
[ to catch them allFour ready-to-paste messages for the launch arc: announce on launch day, remind during week one, celebrate the week-two milestone, and share month-end results (stats come from your dashboard).
