What is a Bike Friendly Workplace Award?

A bike friendly workplace award can be awarded to any Windsor and Essex County workplace that provides support to employees who choose to commute to work by bicycle. A bike friendly workplace award is an excellent way for an organization to gain recognition for their committment to employee health.
