Facilities that encourage cycling
Providing facilities for cyclists can also encourage staff to walk and use public transport more and make your site a more attractive place to work for all staff. Financial incentives to cycle can further support staff to travel by bike.
Cycle and cycling equipment storage
Provide safe, secure and covered cycle parking as close to building entrances as possible. Provide lockers, changing/drying facilities and showers.
Pool bikes
Provide pool bikes. Folding bikes make excellent pool bikes, especially as they can be used easily on journeys combined with public transport.
Route development
Liaise with your local authority to identify the potential for improving cycle links to your site.
Punctures and spares
Consider a puncture repair service, or provision of a 'spares box' for cyclists - practical details like this can really help.
