Who needs a workplace bike fleet?

Any company, government department, local council or not-for-profit organisation can set up a workplace bike fleet.

Bike fleets can be set up in most workplaces where staff are required to travel on-site, between worksites or within the local area. Setting up a workplace bike fleet requires commitment from management, support from staff and a small budget.
