| Though there are
many logical reason why people use bikes for transportation,
there are others who still need a bit of convincing. Usually,
these individuals simply don’t see the benefits of bike
riding, though most of these reasons may be right in front of
their face. There are many different way to promote bike transportation
in an office setting; in order to equally benefit yourself,
the current non-biking employee, and the rest of the community
that uses your location daily. |
| |
| 1) Ensure
Route Safety from Every Direction Leading to your Location. |
| |
| A) Make sure there are bike lanes
or sidewalk leading up to your site. Inform your employees of
the best routes to take and estimated travel times from recognizable
locations. If routes are unsafe, attempt to work with elected
officials on changing that. |
|
| 2)
Post or Handout a Bike Map. |
| |
| A) Provide employees
with maps of safe bike routes to recognizable locations and
bus stops. Include traffic information and bus routes to combined
bike and public transportation. Also include information on
routes and streets that are unsafe for bikers |
| |
| 3) Directly
Endorse Bike Transportation to your Employees. |
| |
| A) Let your employees
know that you support bike transportation. Put up posters and
signs in break rooms that support bike use. Realize that bike
transportation takes a lot longer than car transportation; therefore,
show understanding when bikers are late for work. |
| |
| 4) Provide
Bike Parking. |
| |
| A) If there is
no place to safely store bikes at your location, cyclists will
be less likely to park their bike their. Adequate bike parking
will show your employees that you are doing whatever it takes
to provide for them. |
| |
| 5) Provide Lockers
and Showers |
| |
| A) Riding a bike usually requires a lot of physical exertion, almost always resulting in sweat. Most people won’t want to work after effort like that, unless they can change their clothes and clean themselves off. Lockers and showers would directly address this issue. Employees can keep a change of clothes at work in their lockers, and can wash themselves off in the showers. |

I own a local sporting goods store and I just started selling bikes. Now that we have received our double-decker rack, the bikes are no longer piled in the middle of the store.

I just put up my new wall mounted bike rack in my garage and now, with the bikes off the ground, I finally have enough space to put in a pool table.

I can finally enjoy my patio again because I've installed my indoor bike rack inside my apartment.
