HUB: Your Cycling Connection is pleased to introduce Bike Friendly Business Program. We have over 100 members and continue to accept new memberships.
Bike Friendly Business seeks to create a robust group of businesses that openly support cycling and to supply businesses with the tools and resources to reach the cycling consumer; empower employees to ride safely and confidently; and help create a more vibrant community and local economy.
To Become a Member
There is no charge to become a Bike Friendly Business member. All you have to do is send an email to bfb@bikehub.ca to confirm. Please include a two sentence testimonial about how cycling benefits your business, and a contact name, title, and phone number that media could use for further questions.
Program Elements
Business Recognition and Promotion in Cycling Circles
HUB will showcase “Bike Friendly Business” through HUB websites, regional events, and newsletter and potential media exposure.
HUB can assist you to become a more bike friendly workplace in one easy step- book us for a Bikeability Assessment. We will assess your building and/or workplace for its bikeability and provide you with concrete recommendations and resources for improvement. In addition, the assessment and a minimum entry of a bike rack at your workplace entitles you to entry into our Bikeability Awards competition. For more information bfb@bikehub.ca .
A health promotion and sustainability program that fosters biking to work through on-site education and training for employees, these fun, interactive and on-site workshops are designed for staff of all riding abilities! They are hugely popular with any workplace that wants to boost its employees morale, productivity, health and wellness.
