Green Light to Cycle to Work Scheme

23rd April 2013

The scheme is in alignment with the Government’s recently introduced ‘Business Cycle’ programme, which aims to promote the use of bicycles as preferred transport for employees and businesses across the UK. The ‘Cycle to Work’ scheme is one of the many ‘green’ initiatives which Rudolph and Hellmann Automotive is investigating to implement within its organisation to reduce its overall carbon footprint.
 

Reducing the Carbon footprint
The scheme contributes to reduce each employers Carbon footprint, as less carbon emissions are produced overall. In a perfect world, people and organisations would be carbon neutral - putting no extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Global climate change contributes to extreme weather conditions such as high speed winds, floods, heavy snow fall and water shortages, all of which have been creating issues across the UK for the last 2 years (often causing people to be unable to travel to work!!).

31% - 48% saving on the retail cost of new bikes and accessories
In signing up for the scheme Rudolph and Hellmann’s employees will typically save between 31% and 48% of the retail cost of brand new bikes and accessories from the manufacturers that are also supporting the scheme. Employees that choose to be included into the scheme will also be able to spread the cost of purchasing a new bike and accessories across a flexible period of time, meaning the financial commitment is kept to a minimum.

50% less likely to suffer from a stroke, heart disease or type 2 diabetes
The scheme aims to promote a number of other benefits to both the individuals who get involved and also to the environment. Experts within the NHS state that raising the heart rate through exercise just 5 times per week means individuals are 50% less likely to suffer from a stroke, heart disease or type 2 diabetes. Therefore people cycling to work are more likely to experience these health benefits. Riding to work also means that any annual car running/fuel costs can also be reduced.
