Organize a cycling activity

Choose a day in May and declare it Bike to Work Day at your company. Encourage your employees to try out bike-to-work on this day. They'll see that it's within their reach, and they'll be ready to adopt it! Offer lunch or participation prizes to those who arrive by bike.

Organize a contest in your workplace and count the number of days during the month of May that each employee cycled to the office. Calculate the total number of kilometers cycled by your employees and draw prizes among those who participated.

Plan routes to your workplace from the neighborhoods where your employees live. Offer your employees a map with the most direct, but above all, the most user-friendly route. You can plan these routes with the help of your experienced cyclists.

You can also organize a mentoring activity between an experienced cyclist and a novice, so that people who have never cycled before can be accompanied on their first ride.

Install new, safe and conveniently located bicycle parking facilities. This is the most visible and least costly way of sending out a message that the company encourages cycling to work. Bicycle theft is the main obstacle to using a bicycle to go to work.

Take advantage of Bike Month to inaugurate a new bike park for your employees.

Organize a mechanics clinic to ensure that your employees have a bike in good condition for the season. Ask your local bike store or an employee familiar with bike mechanics to run the workshop.

Organize a bike chiselling booth for your employees with the help of the police department, which can offer this service. Take advantage of the opportunity to give advice on the types of locks to use and the correct way to lock your bike.
