Free Bicycle Service and Repair Sessions

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

This contractor is aiming to reduce carbon emissions by influencing how their workforce travel to and from their projects.

To encourage the workforce to cycle safely to work on site, and to also use their bikes outside of work, the project offered a free bicycle service and safety check. This was carried out by a local company who are specialists in mobile ‘Dr Bike’ servicing.

Two mechanics came to site for four hours and serviced 20 cycles belonging to trades and project office workers. The feedback after the sessions showed that this service was very much appreciated.

Benefits include helping some of the workforce keep their bicycles in safe, roadworthy condition – with the free service and by way of reminders of the importance to check their bikes regularly.

It has encouraged people to use their bikes more to get to and from work, positively contributing to their health and wellbeing and reducing their carbon footprint.
