Be a Bike-Friendly Business

Bicycling to work helps reduce your company’s carbon footprint. Not only does a bicycle not require gasoline, but it also has a more environmentally-friendly manufacturing process. Bicycling reduces your need for motor vehicle parking. Typically, twenty bicycles can fit in the same space as one car. Healthy employees are more alert, more productive, and perform better and more efficiently.
