Out of 160 there's about 7.

6 of them are fair weather so the bike rack was empty today :angel: (not that I use it).

We've just gone up from one out of twelve to two which is great. Four of us have bikes from the cycle to work scheme. Ironically the two bikes on the scheme currently languishing in garages belong to the two people who live the nearest (less than half a mile but who drive) while the cyclists (me and J) live the furthest away at 5 and 8 miles.

I've got no idea. I work at an NHS trust with hundreds of employees. On my ward of around 120 staff, about 10 of us cycle. In my other job (same hospital, different department) there are around 15 part time employees, only one cyclist (me!). I'm so unique, I had an article written about me in the staff news letter!!!

I guess there's over 100 people on the site. There are 2 of us who cycle as our main mode of transport (I do occasionally use the public transport alternative, the other person always cycles), however there are usually more than 2 bikes in the racks, all year round - there's a small contingent who cycle one or two days a week as an alternative to driving, and a few "fair-weather cyclists" (though actually the number of bikes in the racks doesn't seem to be very weather-dependant!)

Our bike shed has something like 215 racks and the same number of lockers (and 19 showers). Unfortunately our company's allocation is just shy of one quarter of these racks/lockers, for approx 1,000 staff. There is a long waiting list for a hallowed locker key (& pass to the cycle shed).

My department is doing quite well, we have 5 cyclists among the 18 staff, and only 2 of those are fairweather cyclists! Another colleague is planning to Boricycle when the weather is fine as he has a docking station outside his house.

Probably around 600-700 staff on the site I work at. At least 60 people cycle regularly. Probably hit more than double that when the weather is nice. (hard to gauge as we are on 3 floors and people arrive anywhere between 6am - 10am.
Out of the 30 odd in my department at least 10 cycle at some point during the year.
We are in a shared building of around 6,000 - 8,000 people of which there are around 600 cycle spaces in the basement.
When the weather gets nice, it's almost impossible to find a space after 8.30am.

Here for rides.
150 staff. 6 cycling at present, strangely 3 of whom sit on adjacent desks to me. It must be infectious.

Once summer comes that will get up to about 10% of the workforce. Lots of wicker baskets and floaty dresses and dutch bikes. But it will down on last year. Some of our contractors have left and they were young racing snakes.
 
Worked here three years, only once has min been the only bike in the rack, usually a dozen, sometimes more. Only about 3% cycle in though.

1 out of 6 at my place... and i want to keep it that way... there's only enough room in the kitchen for one bike and that's mine.

Around 20-25 out of 250, it has really picked up in the last year or two.

Lots of fairweather riders too, including a couple of new ones just this week :thumbsup:

at the moment 2 out of 173 staff - only room for 4 bikes in the shed, but 17 had bikes on last years c2w.

As far as I'm aware there is only one regular cyclist out of about 85 where I work. Two of us also cycle in better weather (all three of us are in the same department). Lack of secure bike storage is a problem. There may be more cyclists but it is hard to tell.
