Want an Active Commuting Hub at work? Here are some reasons why active commuting is good for both you, and your employer.

Why should an employer buy or hire a facility?

1. Reduces sick days, stress, health insurance costs and carbon foot print.
2. Excellent use of commuting time, active-commuters arrive at work more motivated.
3. Reduces demand for car parking and travel costs, environmentally friendly doubles as transport.
4. Encourages all body exercise for everybody, promotes relaxation, burns calories to help reduce weight
5. Improves balance and co-ordination
6. Social activity
7. Regular cyclists and runners enjoy the general health of someone 10 years younger (studies).
8. Our solution and deployment strategy caters for all sizes of business throughout the UK.
9. Potentially there is funding and other incentives for companies who offer employees these type of benefits. Details of these can be best accessed through Cycling Charities, local Government departments, BIDs’ and your Council. They tend to be region specific.

Why build Hubs?

Active Commuting was founded for one reason. To provide secure bike parking, showers and lockers to enable as many active commuters as possible. There is not a one size fits all solution. Our solution is portable, adaptable, scalable and affordable.
