Small business grants for cycling...

Kirky

Hi, not sure if this is the best place to post this thread - so please feel free to move it if you think it should be in another section.

The company I've just started working for want to install bike racks and a shower to our offices - but it will be quite a chunky outlay considering we're an office of 6 people!! Are there any grants available from the government still for encouraging people to cycle to work etc?? I know I'd use it lots, but as I live 16 miles away I really will want a shower when I get here and somewhere safe to lock up my bike!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lifecycle is a Bristol-based charity that helps employers and others set up cycling plans, and I believe they have a "Take a stand" scheme offering 2 free Sheffield Stands (that would do for 4 bikes). Unfortunately their web site seems to be having trouble at the moment, but they are on 0117 929 0440.

There is an article about the scheme on Bike Biz

The council (I think the county council, Norfolk) here has a scheme to help businesses with stands. Other local authorities may have similar schemes.

Hi friends, I live in South Carolina and I was looking for a Bike loan. I was thinking about just getting a loan of about 1/3 of the car just to down pay then finance it and just pay for the little loan and finance monthly. Or should I just get a bike loan to pay for the whole car and just pay the loan monthly. And I’ve had this one job for only about a month, you think they’ll let me get a loan in only a month?
