Did you know that Oklahoma has eight League of American Bicyclist’s (LAB) recognized Bike Friendly Businesses?
These are workplaces that create a bike friendly environment for its employees.
Based on 4 of the 5 “E’s”, Encouragement, Education, Engineering, and Evaluation, employees are provided such benefits as:
· showers
· bicycle parking
· bike safety classes
· Sponsorship of cycling teams and group rides
· participation in the National Bike Challenge
· company bike coordinators.
Beyond encouraging cycling among their employees, many of them support bike advocacy by being members of the Oklahoma Bicycling Coalition (OBC) and supporting sponsored bike events such as the Bike Summit and Freewheel
By supporting bike friendly businesses, you’re approving their impact on bicycling in Oklahoma.
