Bicycle Friendly Business

California Giant Berry Farms | Bronze Level

Business Highlights: Bikes and berries are the culture of this California company - 20 percent of employees ride to work more than twice a week, bikes are allowed inside the office building, and training rides are held twice a week. California Giant Berry Farms offers their employees reduced prices on bike purchases, provides stationary bikes in the office gym, bicycle lockers for secure bike parking, and a commuting mentorship program that teams experienced bicycle commuters with newcomers. Also on site in their Watsonville headquarters are locker rooms, shower facilities and bike maintenance supplies. In 2009 the company purchased two bikes for employees to borrow while at work. Many staff members use these during their lunch break or afternoon rides. The company also installed a permanent outdoor bike rack. The business sponsors an elite road racing team, a masters team, and a cyclocross team.
