Bicycle Friendly Business

Schreiber Anderson Associates| Bronze Level

Business Highlights: All SAA employees own a bicycle with about 10 percent riding to work regularly year round and 25 percent riding regularly during good weather. Employees can choose from a variety of parking options when they arrive at SAA including two enclosed bike lockers, and an arrangement of unique bicycle racks located right next to the employee entrance. Another incentive for active transportation are the showers located onsite, and regular treat days that keep the riders fueled. Lunch rides during the summer are common and annually employees participate in a company “Tin Man Ride” – which includes one lap around the Madison Iron Man bicycling route. Staff includes a League Cycling Instructor and lessons on bicycle safety are a regular occurrence during Bike to Work Week.
