Cycle To Work Guarantee scheme could do more for employees

The Department for Transport has launched a new scheme  to encourage employers to be more cycle-friendly.

Employers are being encouraged to sign the voluntary Cycle To Work Guarantee scheme. Signators pledge to provide better cycle facilities for staff.

Safe parking, the Cycle To Work loan scheme, cycle training , lockers, maintenance courses , changing rooms and washing facilities are some of the measures the scheme aims to make more common popular. 

Around 70 employers, have signed up, including 17 central government offices.

This initiative is excellent as it places all of the information about commuter cycling in one place and challenges companies to agree and abide by a number of pledges.
