Sustrans on Radio 2

Thanks to being hit by a car I am left with an injury that occasionally flares up, and this gave me an unexpected bonus yesterday.
I had to drive the car into work and on the way home I got to hear a SUSTRANS interview on Radio 2.
They were addressing the subject of what employers could do to encourage cycling to work.
I am one of the lucky few who has access to a shower and a secure lock up. I couldn't help but wonder what else people feel would help that their employer could realistically provide?
What would help you?

Though it would be good if my company moved closer to where I live.
Strangely, I'd like to move about three miles further away, the exercise is doing wonders for me

I agree. My current accommodation is Glasgow is too close to work. When I was discussing arrangements with the relocation team, they were rather bemused by my request to live about 4 miles from work and not walking distance. Sadly, they ignored my request and I am in a rented apartment that is a short walk from work. Still, only 3 more months, and I move the family up to my own place.
Is it too much to ask the local police to be out and about, confiscating motocross bikes being driven dangerously, or ripping ruts into the track?

My employer provides a limited number of bike lockers, and I'm lucky enough to have one. However, they've recently banned cyclists from bringing bikes into the building which is what I used to do and which was more useful to me. So for me the answer would be to lift the bikes in building ban.

Same here, and they have "bike pods" on individual issue. Came to work tonight, having been told my pod would be moved (no destination given0 to find it surrounded by construction fencing.
So it's back in the locker room.
My H&S officer is an anti-bike, anti-camera nutter. Apparently, bicycles are fire risks...
If I had a stalker, I would hug it and kiss it and call it George...or censored

all the research suggests that having a secure place for a bike and a shower just about does it. TfL will subsidise both.

Not only that but there are certain tax rebates that the company can claim. About the only useful tax initiative to come from Mr Brooooooooooooooooon.
