Why Implement a
Bicycle Commute Program?
| Bicycling is one of the best things you can do
to keep your heart and lungs in shape, and to attain that feeling
of contentment which comes with exercise. The Aerobics Program for Total Well-Being by Dr Kenneth Cooper |
Employee Morale. Employees who arrive at work by bicycle are more alert and relaxed, having exercised during their commute. They avoid the stress of driving through rush-hour congestion and delays, and don't need to worry about finding parking. Bicycle commuters will recognize and appreciate employer support for their transportation and exercise mode.
| UW Transportation Demand Managers estimate the cost of one car-parking ramp stall at nearly $20,000, while the cost of one bicycle rack space is less than $100. |
| In the future, what a company stands for will be
as important as what it sells. Consumers are demanding corporate
responsibility on the critical issues of our time. GSD&M Advertising |
Good Corporate Citizenship. Support for bicycle commuting promotes your company's public image as a community-oriented and environmentally responsible employer. It says to the public that your company is concerned about pollution, traffic congestion, energy use, overall public health, and the well-being of your employees.
