Workplaces can lead the shift

undefined

The commute is where change begins. Through the Bike Library for Workplaces, we’re working with companies in Dublin and Limerick to offer employees access to electric and cargo bikes - creating practical, supported opportunities to switch from car to cycle.

By encouraging employees to commute by bike, companies are not only helping the environment—they’re also improving staff wellbeing, easing parking demand, and setting a new standard for everyday sustainability.

This initiative is supported by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), in partnership with Prof. Brian Caulfield (Trinity College Dublin) and Prof. James Green (University of Limerick). Together, we’re turning world-class research into real-world impact.
