This is the third in a new series of tips extracted from the forthcoming Green Business Bible e-book:

Many staff are put off cycling to work because of poor facilities. Decent covered cycle stands*, lockers and a shower will go a long way to help. You could also provide maps showing local cycle routes.

* Avoid the 'wheelbenders' that you put the front wheel of the bike into - their nick name says it all. 'Sheffield stands' - an inverted U - are best.

Another tip next Monday!
