They also provide a wealth of advice on how employers can encourage cycling, both for the commute to work and for business-related travel. Cutting levels of sickness absence as a result of a more active workforce is just one of several significant cost savings to be realised by getting more staff on their bikes. Using bikes for work-related travel rather than using pool cars or taxis can also represent significant savings, from increasing productivity through less time wasted on travel as a result of congestion, to giving over valuable land from car parking functions to other uses on a permanent basis. Businesses can download copies of Cycling to Work from our Work section.
