Abstract

Evaluation of a workplace intervention to promote commuter cycling: A RE-AIM analysis

Highlights

  • Originating from the interdisciplinary collaboration between public health and the transportation field a workplace intervention to promote commuter cycling, ‘Bike to Work: cyclists are rewarded’, was implemented

  • The aim of the present study is to evaluate the dissemination efforts of the free workplace intervention ‘Bike to Work: cyclists are rewarded’ in small and middle-sized companies

  • Similar to effective commuter cycling interventions in the Netherlands [31] and Germany [11,38] the intervention consisted of three major components: (1) two cycling contests, (2) an online loyalty program based on earning ‘cycling points’ and (3) the dissemination of information
