So the firm I work for is moving to a new building in the Tokyo area and I have the opportunity to influence how cyclists will be treated. On the agenda is secure bicycle lock up and amenities to freshen up before entering the office. I am expecting resistance as only a small percentage of the employees commute by bicycle now, insurance issues, and servicing cyclists is an optional expense. There are difficult to quantify benefits such as better health and bicycle make fine alternatives to public transport.
So questions for the group:
So questions for the group:
- Is there a cycle to work advocacy group in Tokyo?
- Do you work in an office with good amenities for cyclists? Can I pick your brain?
- Any supporting literature that would be relevent for bicyclists in Tokyo?
- Any vendors that supply road, cross, and mountain bicycle friendly racks in Japan? The racks I observe in the Tokyo area are not very good and can potentially damage the spokes.
