South Yorkshire cycling loyalty scheme rewards launched
Inmotion! has launched a new cycling loyalty scheme called ‘Ride Rewards’ in South Yorkshire to encourage more people to cycle to local shops and cafes in the area and is calling on all business owners to join the scheme.
The initiative is part of the £7.2m Sustainable Travel Access Fund, which aims to reduce car traffic and promote sustainable transport, such as cycling, to commuters and local residents.

Independent retailers and cafes already signed up for the scheme include Russell’s Bike Shed (Sheffield), Beanies Wholefoods (Sheffield), St Mary’s Café (Sheffield), Fosters Cycles (Rotherham), Cycle Supreme (Doncaster) and Cawthorne Tea Rooms (Barnsley).
The scheme was launched at Geared Up Cycles, Wombwell with the help of Shop Manager, Martin Dainty and Ride Rewards Manager, Andrew Midgley.
Martin Dainty, from Geared Up Cycles said: “We’re excited to be involved in any scheme that promotes cycling in the region. That’s why we’ve signed up to offer cardholders 10% off in store, including on our extensive range of e-bikes.”
