Stage 2: Gaining speed

You provide the ‘basics’ (e.g. showers, secure storage) and want to further develop your support for people on bikes.

You only provide for commuters at the moment, but are interested in providing fleet bikes for local, work-related trips.

What next?

You’ve chosen the right section if your workplace has made a good start on providing for people on bikes (i.e. you’ve done most of the things in the first list below).

What you probably have or do…
- Bike storage – secured access for staff and visitors
- Bike parking – easily accessible and visible bike parking bays for customers
- Showers
- Lockers (for gear)
- Support national and local workplace cycling events
- Sign up to the Aotearoa Bike Challenge(external link) (annual bike month in February)
- Cyclist user group
- Bike-buddy system
- Provide copies of essential resources (e.g. maps, road code)
- Have a cycling advocate/co-ordinator (or equivalent)
