Such companies are seen as progressive, environmentally responsible and concerned about their employee's health and well-being. The following is a list of common concerns among prospective bicycle commuters and some suggestions for eliminating those concerns. Arriving at work hot and sweaty after a bike ride. It would be ideal if all employers provided showers and locker rooms for their employees. However, this is not always possible and, in fact, such facilities are not as critical as many potential bike commuters believe.
Many riders cool down with a small fan in their office and a quick wash-up in the restroom.
Your company may want to invest in bicycle lockers, which provide complete security as well as protection from the elements. You may also wish to install high-quality bike racks which support bikes by the frame in an area where they can be watched. In addition, offer your employees peace of mind by providing them with a Guaranteed Ride Home Program, such as the RideArrangers program offered by the Denver Regional Council of Governments. Employees who bicycle to work receive a free taxi ride home in the event of bad weather or mechanical problems prevent them from commuting home by bicycle. Also, provide bicyclists with route maps and safety information.
