Transportation Alternatives is excited to launch the Bike Friendly Business Campaign. The campaign is part of the Biking Rules education and encouragement campaign and is a great way to demonstrate your business' commitment to going green. It will serve as a way to attract cyclists and pro-cycling customer--a group that has grown by over 66% in NYC over the past three years.
T.A. will work with two categories of Bike Friendly Businesses. If your restaurant employs working cyclists, you can become a Bike Friendly Business by having these employees sign on to the Streetcode--a commitment to uphold safe, legal cycling behavior on NYC streets. Alternately, you can also qualify by giving a small discount to customers who arrive by bicycle as a gesture of your support for bicycling in NYC.
Bike Friendly Businesses receive a window decal with the campaign's logo that advertizes your participation in the program and to identify yourself as a bike-friendly business. In addition, you will also be listed on the official Biking Rules website alongside other Bike Friendly Businesses.
