Workplaces

The UK should be a place where the streets are free of congestion and the air is clean to breathe. It’s a vision that businesses like yours can play a crucial role in achieving.

Better workplaces by bike

Standards for sustainability and staff well-being have never been more high profile, but many businesses struggle to reconcile these targets with profitability.

The humble bicycle provides a simple solution to these complex problems.

By integrating cycling into your workplace, you can slash your corporate carbon footprint, drive productivity and staff satisfaction. 

We have the resources, products and expertise to help you help us make a better world by bike.

Getting your workplace cycling

Data from the 2021 census showed that as many as 45% of the UK's workforce travel to work by car, despite over 20% living just 5 miles or less from work. That means millions of people across the UK could reap the health, financial and environmental benefits of active travel, given the right support. That's where you come in. Together, we can help make active travel the natural choice for your colleagues.

Not only does integrating cycling into your business reduce pollution and enable your colleagues to take action against climate change daily, the science overwhelmingly shows that commuters who cycle to work are healthier, happier and more productive - so there are tangible opportunities to drive organisational efficiency through active travel too. 

We're here to help you unlock the benefits of active travel for your people. For over 140 years, we’ve been championing cycling as a vehicle of change. Over that time we’ve developed lifetimes' worth of expertise, and a comprehensive suite of products to help you make cycling happen in your workplace.
