Bike to Work Week 2012 is just around the corner - May 28 to June 3, 2012 - and this event is a great way to build healthy activities into your workplace. This is a great opportunity for you or your Healthy Workplace Committee if you have one, to set up various events and contests to support building a healthy team.

Here are some ideas for how to incorporate Bike to Work Week into your company:

1. Set up a bike locking area so that people don't have to worry about the safety of their bikes. Keep this in place all year to support and encourage the bike riding option for transportation.
2. Register a team with the Bike to Work Week Society so that your company and your employees are a part of the excitement of the annual event.
3. Initiate a "how far did you ride" contest between riders - keep track of daily kms ridden by each employee and award a prize for the person who rides the most kms during Bike to Work Week.
4. If you have enough riders, set up a local Cycling Shop in the parking lot one morning the week before Bike to Work Week and provide Employees with free bike tune ups. Or, make arrangements for the employees to receive free or discounted tune ups when they take their bikes to the local Cycling Shop.
5. To encourage cyclers, have healthy breakfast options waiting for them during the week, like oatmeal, protein bars, and juice in the fridge. Let them know that you notice that they are making healthy choices by biking to work.
6. Take a photo of all of your cyclers and their bikes and post it on your company facebook page and/or website to show the team spirit you have in the office. Don't forget to take a photo of the winner who rode the most kms in the week as well - celebrate their commitment!

Finding something that your employees are excited about is important, and sometimes setting the example for things like biking to work can be important as well. Check out Accent Inn's President & CEO Mandy Farmer and her example of how to bike to meetings!

Having fun with employees and encouraging their good health can go hand in hand and will make a difference to your overall employee engagement.
