You are probably blue in the face from asking your boss, can we stick an auld exercise bike into that unused room in the back!
But now, you have even more reason/ammo to ask again. The government is introducing tax breaks for companies to install showers, bikes and other exercise equipment in the workplace. So, wattbikes and the like, might become more common place. YESSS!!!!
Since the Bike to Work scheme has been such as success over the last decade or so, in tackling obesity, better physical/mental well being and attributing to the general cycling boom. Leo and the gang, have decided to give employers an added incentive to answer yes…the next time you ask…
Best of luck & spread the word 🙂
