How do you persuade your boss that cycle parking is really important? Bosses have a tendency to prioritise profits, so a good place to start is by pointing out that better cycle parking makes business sense.

For a start, it encourages employees to cycle to work. And this means a workforce that’s more motivated, calm, alert, confident, happy and above all productive. Cycling to work also improves employee health, recruitment and loyalty: all important assets to a company. Finally, employees who cycle can save the company money in travel expenses, such as Tube fares, parking fees and congestion charges.

But just as important is the effect that good cycle parking can have on customers and clients. For all of the above reasons, other people will want to do business with you if they can park their bikes outside your premises. Cycle parking makes your business more accessible.

One of the best reasons to install cycle parking is because it enhances your company’s reputation. The marketplace is increasingly valuing businesses who care for people and planet. There’s no better statement that yours does than installing cycle parking outside your premises.

And there are few better cycle parking facilities than those offered by Cyclepods. They are the only carbon neutral cycle storage company in the world, with all their products manufactured from 100% recycled or recyclable materials. And their products look great too, with a range of bicycle parking solutions which are stylish as well as space-saving, sustainable and secure.

By providing an individual track for each bike, Cyclepods products prevent overcrowding and bike damage. Furthermore, all their products can be installed cheaply and easily, without the need for ground works.

Their fastest selling product is the innovative Streetpod, which has been tested by the National Police Standards (Secured By Design) and passed Level 2, making it the most secure cycle parking unit on the public highway. The Streetpod can be seen all over Britain, from Edinburgh to Brighton. Cyclists can secure their bike and both wheels using just one lock, fastened through a 20mm solid steel loop around the rear wheel and bike frame.
