Bike - The Best Way to Work
Biking to Work is good for you:
* better health - regular exercise brings major health benefits
(cycling 7 km a day reduces the risk of coronary heart disease by 50%;
regular cyclists enjoy a fitness level equivalent to being 10 years younger)
* save time - cycling can be the fastest & most predictable way to
work - no traffic jams or timetables
* save money - no parking fees, low running costs
* convenient - no parking hassles, combines exercise with getting to work
Biking to Work is good for the environment:
* the bike is energy and space efficient
* the bike is non-polluting
Biking to Work is good for your employer:
* cyclists make for a fitter, healthier, more productive workforce -
cycling is an excellent
stress reliever & cyclists take fewer sick days than non-cyclists
* cycle parking is cheaper to provide than car parking & releases
space for more productive use - 10 bikes can be parked in one car space
* cycle commuters are more likely to arrive at work on time - bike
journeys can befaster and more predictable than other work journeys
* being a cycle-friendly employer has a positive image & can raise
business profile
