'DR BIKE' ON SITE BIKE SERVICING

ON-SITE BUSINESS SURVEYS:

Bikeworks can provide experienced Cycling Consultants who will travel to your business location; we will survey your company's needs and requirements to facilitate easy cycling opportunities when it comes to cycling to work. This can be as simple as choosing the correct cycle rack and placing it in a suitable, safe and secure area, through to a complete business cycle review. This can incorporate changing room and shower requirements, and on-site cycle training for employees that wish to cycle to work but need extra confidence through a refresher class.

A dedicated cycling day' can be arranged, a small outreach team will visit your business location to talk to and advise employers and employees on cycling related issues, for example servicing employee cycles for road safety, advice on upgrades or accessories, and information on safer cycling.

POOL BIKES:

Every business would benefit from having access to a fleet of fully serviced, clean and regularly upgraded selection of cycles. Bikeworks is able to offer this excellent opportunity to the business community. For example, as a business you can make up a fleet of 10 cycles of various sizes and styles to accommodate all riders, these are left onsite or can be spread across various site locations depending on your business needs.

Employees can use the pool of bikes to cycle to and from work, in-between business sites or simply to the shops at lunchtime. Every month Bikeworks will visit to clean, service and repair any damage to the cycles so they are as good as new.
