Health Behavior Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Cycle Nation Project: A Workplace Intervention to Increase the Number of People Cycling Regularly (Phase 2: Feasibility)
Interventions to increase the number of people cycling regularly are likely to induce a range
of health and societal benefits, including reduced incidence of heart disease, cancer and
obesity, improved mental health and well-being, and reduced road congestion and air
pollution. They are also likely to provide tangible financial and in-kind benefits to
employers and society, through reduced workforce absenteeism, increased productivity and
decreased use of NHS resources. However, increasing the number of people cycling regularly is
complex and interventions undertaken to date have only been modestly successful. Thus, to
induce a step-change in the number of people cycling in the United Kingdom (UK), in line with
British Cycling and HSBC UK's stated aim of getting two million more people on bikes, new
approaches are needed.
The research team have been working with staff and management at British Cycling and HSBC to
co-develop a novel, multi-component intervention for delivery at HSBC offices to increase the
number of employees cycling regularly. The intervention has four main components: 1) a six
(intermediate) or nine (foundation) week practical skills programme; 2) cycle provision
(tune-up/loan/subsidised purchase) schemes; 3) establishment of a cycle-friendly workplace
culture; 4) a cycle app. The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of this
intervention in a before-and-after study in four HSBC offices around the UK.
