Bicycle Friendly Business Campaign

Bike Safe has launched the Bicycle Friendly business program. By participating in the Bicycle Friendly business campaign, cyclists and business owners are working together to create and encourage safe cycling and healthy businesses.

Bicycle Friendly businesses help to encourage more cycling by becoming supportive of bicycle commuting and improve bicycle access for their visitors and customers. This has far-reaching effects – not only for our health and environment, but also for our local economy.
