Cycling to meetings

September 24th, 2008 | Category: Bike, Sustainability

We take sustainability seriously.  Whenever possible, we will commute by bike to meetings for instance.  Why?  Because for short trips, it can’t be beat:

  • It conserves gasoline
  • It doesn’t decrease air quality like cars do
  • It doesn’t require a 9′x18′ parking space or the expense of parking
  • No time is needed to get to the car or to find a parking space at the destination
  • Best of all for clients, the Feds don’t have a mileage rate for bikes, so there is no expense to the client!

    When longer trips require more time, we use an efficient, 4-cylinder car. So for your short trips, have you considered biking or walking rather than driving?

Louisville bike safety classes can be found at Bicycling for Louisville’s website. And if you think you’ve got a list of excuses, here is a place to find solutions. Here is our list of why we see cycling as important to our practice, our sustainability, and our future. [...]
