| 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 wall-mount 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 thought my bike was too heavy to lock to a wall mounted bike rack, but I was wrong - the arms didn't bend and the base didn't tip over.

I can't believe something that is so inexpensive to ship holds so many bikes!

Terry assured me that the wall-mounted bike rack would fit in my basement, and she was exactly right.

My kids used to always knock over the bikes in our garage. But thanks to our new wall mounted bike racks, they couldn't knock these bikes over if they tried.
