CYCLE TO WORK AND HELP
STAFF DO LIKEWISE
HOWEVER GREEN YOUR CAR, CYCLING IS STILL MUCH CHEAPER AND MUCH GREENER.
NOT JUST THAT, BUT IT WILL ALSO KICK-START YOUR WORK DAY WITH SOMETHING
OTHER THAN A STRONG COFFEE, HELP YOU ZIP THROUGH TRAFFIC JAMS, AND
SIMULTANEOUSLY ADDRESS THE TWIN PROBLEMS OF THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC AND
GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE. AND IT’S FUN!
THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE UK AND SEVERAL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES HAVE INTRODUCED
VARIOUS TAX INCENTIVES FOR BOTH EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES TO INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO COMMUTE TO WORK BY BIKE.
IN THE US, THERE IS NO FEDERAL LEGISLATION ON THE MATTER, BUT MANY COMPANIES
HAVE STARTED OFFERING INCENTIVES FOR EMPLOYEES TO CYCLE TO WORK OF THEIR
OWN ACCORD, QUITE APART FROM THE OBVIOUS SAVINGS ON FUEL – MORE THAN $50
PER MONTH ON A MERE 6-MILE COMMUTE.
PROVIDING SHOWER FACILITIES AND SECURE STORAGE FOR BICYCLES WOULD
OBVIOUSLY MAKE IT AN EVEN MORE ATTRACTIVE OPTION.
