Bicycle Friendly Business
The most positive outcome of our company’s support for bicycling has been a community of employees who encourage each other in their bicycling efforts resulting in an increase in people who bike to work and bike on our trail at lunch.
Supporting our cycling community is a natural result of the firm’s belief that healthy and happy employees are key to successful business. We are also invested in the community where we live and/or work. Seeing Nashville flourish and become more and more bike friendly is both a result of our transportation work and a benefit to everyone who lives here.
The biking community at AIR has been able to find support with each other, to share resources and information and to advocate for additional resources. We have normalized alternative commuting, where before there were barriers for many people.
