And for those of us who already ride, it’s a brilliant reminder of why two wheels work so well in a busy city like London.
International Motorcycle & Scooter Ride to Work Day celebrates the role motorbikes already play in keeping people moving efficiently through our towns and cities.
While much of London is sitting in queues, riders are often already arriving at work, parking up and getting on with the day.
For many existing riders, commuting on two wheels offers real everyday benefits:
🏍️ Easier journeys through congestion
🏍️ Lower travel costs
🏍️ Reduced pressure on crowded roads
🏍️ Greater flexibility for work and life
🏍️ A practical transport option in a busy urban environment
And importantly, every commuter journey completed on two wheels can help reduce congestion for everyone else too.
Ride to Work Day is also an opportunity to positively recognise the rider community — from commuters and key workers to delivery riders and those who rely on motorbikes every day as part of modern city transport.
So whether you commute daily, ride occasionally, or simply use your bike or scooter as part of everyday life, June 9 is a great day to celebrate the value of riding responsibly and professionally.
For employers, supporting existing riders can be as simple as providing secure parking, drying space, lockers or recognising riders within wider workplace travel and wellbeing planning.
At 2 Wheels London, we’re proud to support safer, smarter journeys for London’s existing rider community.
