Although cycling to work has clear health, environmental, productivity and efficiency benefits it seems that many employers fail to provide their employees with the correct support. Often those who commute by cycle are faced with poorly sited and insecure stands, a lack of changing facilities and non existent policies to encourage this mode of travel.
