On this World Bicycle Day, let's focus on incorporating cycling into our daily lives. Biking offers countless benefits for our health and the planet, whether for exercise, commuting, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Take the time to learn more about how you can contribute to a more sustainable future by riding a bike!
How can your business leverage World Bicycle Day to its advantage? Promoting cycling can foster healthier employees, boost customer traffic to your location, gain customer recognition, build your brand's reputation, and contribute to a healthier environment.
🚴🏽♀️ Support community bike paths and trails. Bicycling can be dangerous on roads filled with cars and other vehicles. Specially designated paths and trails for bicyclists can help protect all bicyclists. These paths may parallel roads or be part of a walking trail system, ensuring bicyclists' safety and interconnecting residential, business, and other areas. Supporting a diverse network of paths facilitates commuting and access to various companies and activities.
Whether you support local biking groups or partner with local government for trail maintenance, your support improves the lives of people and businesses in your community.
🚴🏽♂️ Offer cyclist amenities near or at your location. Sometimes, the only thing preventing someone from traveling by bicycle is a safe and secure place to store it. To make the change, they need to offer a place to lock a bike in a space protected by the elements, well-lit, and close to the cyclist's destination.
🚴🏽♀️ Create a benefits option or perk for cyclists in your organization. Bicycling to work can help employees keep healthy and prevent disease, but bicyclists need to be safe at the same time. Consider offering benefits for cyclists, like reimbursement of cycling safety equipment and products. This benefit can be a part of a larger commuter benefits package if you have one or part of a health & wellness program.
🚴🏽♂️ Create an Employee Bicycle Program. This program could support bicycle use in many ways for commuter cyclists or anyone in the organization. For commuting bicyclists, in particular, it may be in the form of benefits for cyclists' safety, like reimbursement of cycling safety equipment and products. For those that can't commute by bicycle, consider having a few bicycles employees can borrow on breaks or lunch instead of going to on- or off-site gyms. Determine what bicyclists in your organization are interested in and support their interests.
