Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus employees take a bike break with Reddy bikes.

1. To show your employees that you value them: Bike share is a creative and unique amenity that only a few employers in Buffalo can boast as an HR benefit.

2. Healthy body, healthy mind: Healthy recreation and transportation options during work hours contributes to a more productive workforce.

3. It will open the city up to your employees in new ways: Lunch breaks, work errands, and even transportation to and from the office will be more exciting for employees with access to bikes.

4. It’s not only an employee perk, it’s a lifestyle perk: Membership gets you 24/7 access to 400 bikes in Buffalo and Niagara Falls, available April - October.

5. Biking in Buffalo/Niagara is getting better and better: More bike lanes, complete streets, and bike friendly infrastructure is implemented every year.
