Commuting by bike

 Why cycle to work?

Cycling is a fast, convenient way to travel to work. You can beat the traffic and park quickly and easily. Aylesbury has lots of off road cycle tracks and short cuts so it can often be quicker to make short journeys by cycle than by car or public transport. You will also save money and feel healthier and happier.

Cycle Aylesbury wants to make it easier for you and your employees to cycle to and for work. We are doing lots of things to achieve this, including:

• New and improved cycle routes  - Currently there are nine dedicated gemstone cycle paths in Aylesbury, many passing through out of town business trading estates
• More cycle parking - There are over 250 designated FREE bike parking spaces in and around Aylesbury town centre
• Working with employers to improve facilities for cyclists such as new cycle parking, showers and lockers at workplaces
• Providing employers with advice on cycle purchase and pool bike schemes
• Providing cycle training and bike maintenance sessions at workplaces

Getting your employer to be more cycle friendly

If your workplace does not have any designated cycle storage, contact us and we will talk to your employers to try to arrange some cycle provision. If you think there is more that your employer could do such as providing pool bikes, why not ask your employer to have a look at this website or to contact us directly so that we can discuss your requirements.

• physical exercise can help your employees to be more healthy, alert and productive;
• by encouraging more of your employees to cycle to work you can reduce the amount of car parking space required;
• by encouraging the use of cycles rather than cars for short journeys during the working day you can reduce your carbon emissions and your travelling expenses.
