How many people cycle to work at your company?

[2Loose]

I thought you got scared off the road Crankie? Glad to hear you got over that.

At my building around 500 people, 150 cars and a regular 40 cyclists, although it gets a bit silly over the warmer days trying to cram the fair weather lot into the bike cages - around 60 places and over a hundred bikes when it is sunny..

I don't ride on the roads. GBW, off road separate cycle paths and shared pavements. Suits me just fine. I have to cross roads but generally at controlled crossings. The biggest dangers are RLJing cyclists. But I have my Airzound which works a treat.

Hard to say: over about 500 (I guess) regular staff maybe 2 dozen cycle.
Sometimes you see bikes stashed in the most unusual places, IT cupboards, staff toilets and so on
Contractors, even the ones that work with us all the time, tend leave their bikes outside, there could be maybe half a dozen in the parking racks on a nice day.

Out of 370 in my workplace, there's probably about 25-30 bikes in the bike cage that my company leases in the basement-level carpark. There are at least a few more outside the bike cage but still in the carpark. So perhaps 10% at most. I'd prefer more, though . There are way too many overweight people in my workplace, some morbidly so.

2 out of a couple of hundred.

 

[subaqua]

thats a tricky one. at our site or as a company as a whole ?

on site there are 400 and maybe 6 ride in, with only one who rides in whatever the weather.( me)

to get an answer for whole company will take a while

On my particular shift, we have 6 regular cyclists out of 10.

We are not just into commuting, all are regular cyclists enjoying MTB, Road cycling, cyclocross and one very good standard triathlete.

 

[Steve Saunders]

At the technology company where I work, there are 11 of us and 6 of us cycle, though only 4 (entire development team) cycle regularly over distances ranging 10 miles each way to 28 miles each way - I do 21 each way 3 times a week (in any weather, apart from strong wind).

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.

2 people drive less than half a mile? shocking!

4 out of 30 here, but all are year-round in all weathers, so I don't get to feel smug in front of any fair-weather riders

so I don't get to feel smug in front of any fair-weather riders

Hmm. All-weather cyclist, dripping, wind-blown and frozen. Fair-weather cyclist, comfy, warm and dry. I know who deserves to be smug...

[QUOTE 2413587, member: 1314"]There’s 60 of us in the office and we used to have 6 cyclists. Talking to K in the canteen and she said she cycled in this morning from Peckham on a £100 second-hand hybrid to the offices in Clerkenwell.

So we have 7 now – over 10% - not too bad.

There’s K.

P who smokes like a trooper, is whippet thin, fast and rides in from Crystal Palace on a mid-range road bike. I keep trying to get him to go fixed.

S who comes in on a Bromley from Balham and does loads of stuff with LCC. I keep trying to get her to go fixed.

G from Tooting who’s bought a £1k road bike and asked me to do a sportive with him. He’s not going fixed.

My Sex and the City boss on a specialized sirrus who comes in from Brockley. She’s in training for a triathlon and will be renting a fancy road bike for the event. I keep trying to get her to go fixed. She just laughs at me now.

Our Legal Director who like me lives in Surbiton, on a top-end Boardman. He’s important as he’s the one who pulled his weight and insisted our offices had showers. He keeps falling off and breaking bones. He’s 60. No way is he going fixed.

And me.

One of the IT bods may cycle in from Waltham Forest, so all good.[/quote]

Why are fixy riders like Jehovahs always trying to convert peeps?
No thanks we like gears!

Out of 18 staff im the only one who cycles to work,its pretty much an even split between male and female staff and atleast 6 live within 1 mile and still drive to work, my business manager lives within 15 min walk and drives in, drives home for lunch, drives back and then back home at night pretty much every day.

 

[Christopher]

in here, 3 (three!) out of roughly 180 people cycle all year 'round, and about a dozen fair-weather cyclists. I can't think why there are so fewalthough there is a shower room with a capacity of 1, if someone is in there than you have to change in the loos. I tink that and doging white vans and artics and whatnot near the office put a lot of people off... mind you last year there were 2 of us, and the year before that just me!

 

[captain nemo1701]

Quite a few, including me. I think about 15-20, judging by the bikes in the bike rack of a morning.
