Stage 1: Starting out

You may have a few staff who ride to work (at least occasionally), but your facilities are minimal, or unplanned and ad-hoc.

You may be looking to ‘do more’ either in response to staff requests; because it’s the ‘right thing to do’; as part of a workplace wellbeing or sustainability initiative; or another reason (e.g. new cycleways close to your workplace).

If you’re a larger organisation (or really serious!), you may also want to develop a detailed workplace cycling plan.

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…
- Bike storage – un-secured access (covered or uncovered)
- Showers (or access to showers)

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