Workers in Pill were encouraged to get in the saddle to help the planet.

Ten employees of Craddys structural and civil engineering consultants took part in Cycle To Work Day, as they rode from homes across North Somerset and Bristol to the company’s Ham Green office.

Managing director Simon Pitchers clocked up the most miles for an individual rider, although partly because he got lost and ended up in a deer park.

The staff were greeted by a welcome breakfast of orange juice and croissants provided by the management.

Cycle To Work Day aims to encourage a healthier lifestyle and cut transport emissions.
