EASY AS RIDING A BIKE

2 INTRODUCTION We think that cycling is the best way to get around Glasgow. You get to places quicker by beating the traffic and it puts a smile on your face knowing that you ve done your body, and the city, some good. Our goal is to make Glasgow a cycling city. Cities where cycling levels are high are less congested, cleaner and nicer places to live and work. Your company can help by making cycling an easier option for everyone in the organisation, whether for commuting, local meetings, or just a lunch time ride to clear the head. Providing pool bikes is one way but managing storage, bookings and maintenance is a hassle for the company and people using the bikes, meaning they are often not well used. We think bike sharing is the future. This is where nextbike can help. 2
