What is your company doing for Bike Month this May?

Bike Month is a great opportunity to increase bike commuting among your employees and a good way to work toward meeting your trip reduction goals. Choose Your Way Bellevue and the Cascade Bicycle Club make it easy to implement a successful Bike Month program. Just follow the simple action plan below and watch your short burst of bicycle-related promotion turn into long-term increases in bicycling. Remember, you don’t need to be a bike commuter yourself to promote Bike Month effectively, though you just might have more fun if you ride. 

Read on to find out ways you can prepare for Bike Month!



Zipcar: A big deal with a small carbon footprint

Did you know one Zipcar takes 15 personally owned vehicles off the road?


Help your company make great strides in lowering its carbon emissions. With the special promotion that Zipcar is running for business membership, employees can commute using mass transit and still have a car available during the day. Taking more cars off the road also means less smog for Bellevue and less time with traffic jams (and less cranky co-workers).

Imagine a day when your sales team could commute to work on the bus, pile into a Zipcar and grab lunch, go for a meeting in Downtown Seattle for just $10/ hour and then relax on the bus back home.

For more information visit www.zipcar.com/business.

Traditional Zipcar join offer: $25 application fee + $60 annual membership Employee discount join offer: $0 application fee + $25 annual membership (plus bonus driving credit to start if you allow Zipcar onsite to table an event)

For more details on the promotion, email Matt Jensen at mjensen@zipcar.com.
