I have called a meeting at our office on Tuesday in order to discuss what we can do to encourage more people to cycle to and from work and outside work more regularly.
We have been fairly successful and at our prime had around 60 out of a workforce or 500 riding to work. This has declined a little.
We have:
Showers
Lockers
Secure bike parking
Visits from the City of London Police
A major push for the London to Brighton BHF ride as a firm
Cycle to Work (for what it is worth today)
We have just secured fresh towels for all cyclists using the showers (this used to be one of the perks restricted to partners!)
I would welcome ideas for free or low cost steps that can be taken to add to those already in place.
Organisation of cycle training, possibly with a bulk discount. Something around cycle maintenance. Negotiating discounts with local bicycle shops.
Any ideas would be very welcome.
