Cycling to Work Schemes are Encouraged by Installing Bike Racks

There are many reasons to encourage your employees to get on their bikes and join in with a cycling to work scheme. Primarily, it reduces the level of strain on the local environment and frees up the roads for a higher priority of traffic. The emissions in the area will be lowered, and the carbon footprint for your company will be reduced. Let’s take a closer look at this issue and explore some real-world solutions.

The Benefits Enjoyed by Cyclists:


Cycling is also a fantastic form of exercise, increasing employees health, reducing sickness and promoting greater cognitive functionality. However, in order to enjoy these benefits, it’s necessary to get the employees out of their cars and onto their bikes. Security on an expensive investment such as a bike is a real concern and addressing this could be a key point in encouraging a healthier commuting experience.

Making Cycling an Attractive Travelling Option:

It’s easy to pontificate about the various benefits of cycling, but these must be manifested into concrete solutions to be effective. Firstly, a securing cycling area is an absolute must, complete with a secure bike rack for storing the bike. Secondly, employees may need a shower and somewhere to change before they begin their working day. Next, many people will be rusty when it comes to riding a bike, so an in house cycling course may be necessary. Solid information on the best cycling routes for speed and safety could be distributed. Finally, it may be possible to get your employees discounts on cycling equipment, if your company initiates a partnership with a local bike shop.

Security Solutions for Bicycles:

There are many kinds of bike racks available, and there is sure to be one to suit your needs. They are usually made from dugite or tough steel, that will not rust over time and is quite resistant to the attention of thieves.

A bike rack can be a simple structure, where several bikes are locked into a low-level rack together. A dugite single bike rack with lock up a wheel on a single bike and bike racks at waist height can accommodate three or four bikes at a time. A good bike rack can help, but good D locks should always be used, preferably in pairs and the lock should pass through the frame and wheels.
