I have no secure bike parking at work and no showers, the boss takes a dim view of people cycling to work too, it was described as unprofessional in one meeting, but I feel that's just based on his own prejudice and not from experience of working with people who ride bicycles. I don't feel like asking for better facilities for some reason....
Unprofessional??? Well our place don't feel it's unprofessional and we are a FTSE 100 company!! You don't get much more professional than that! we have lockers, showers, hairdryers (and hair straighteners for the girls), drying room and covered cycle racks in the secure car park.
have to asked your boss to approach the local council? they sometimes give grants to employers to promote sustainable travel, that way he would get money for it and not have to consider charging you. Also i've never heard of ANY employer charging for facilities. that's ludicrous. why would you charge for a fit and healthier workforce??? does he charge for parking spaces too?? if not, he's being discriminatory.
contact Sustrans, they will give you loads of facts and figures about the benefits of cycling for the workforce (health and mental wellbeing, efficiency at work etc and sustainability. Also i think eventually he might be forced to do it anyway, as there is a lot of lobbying going on at the moment to get providing facilities at work as a requirement of the employer.
