“By receiving the initial recognition, we were able to justify installing lockers and increasing our overall support of cycling in our workplace.”  —Chuck Krivanek, Human Resources Manager, InterContinental Hotels Group

 “It allowed us to not only tell our customers, but get their feedback on how we can do better. More bike racks and a fix-it station allows our customers and employees to be happy, which has more people visiting us.” —Chris Lennert, VP Operations, Left Hand Brewing Company

“The designation [has given] us more influence in advocating for better bicycling infrastructure and benefits that we can ask from our company, the building managers, and local government. After we had gained our BFB designation, we were able to promote bicycling even more at a Chamber of Commerce breakfast topic.” —Michael Barreyro, Volunteer Bicycle Coordinator, SAP Labs - La Crosse

"Lexmark sales and sustainability team members share with our customers we are a Bicycle Friendly Business and on several occasions we have discovered we have a common bond with our customer because they are also a BFB. We also promote the League of American Bicyclists on our awards page." —Susan Butler, Corporate Social Responsibility Analyst, Lexmark International, Inc.
