bike unfriendly workplace

[Biciclista]

I helped to change bike policy in my building. Because of my lobbying, we now have a great bike rack indoors. Previously we were told that the old rusty racks outdoors (which are great for our work bikes) would suffice. Enough of us with bikes each worth more than a grand complained. Now we are a model for the entire company. (our company has dozens and dozens of buildings)

but i don't mean to minimize, your workplace sounds like they're stuck in 1980!!

Oh my. I had the same "lock your bike to a tree" conversation. Or the picnic tables. Uhhhh. NO. They wouldn't let us bring bikes in the building. I did the leg work and priced out the bike racks. Logisitics wanted to know how many people would be riding and how often. WHY does it matter???

(the kicker is...my company SELLS bike racks!!!!)

18 months after the battle began...we got a bike rack.
