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?
