Cascade now offering free introductory commute classes!

The Cascade Bicycle Club offers commute courses to business leaders throughout the Seattle area who understand that encouraging their employees to bike to work is a smart business choice. People who bike to work take an average of one sick day fewer than their driving counterparts, and are alert and ready for work when they arrive in the morning. Getting employees on bikes will save your business money. However, as a small non-profit ourselves, we understand that not every organization has the budget to afford our services. To help small local businesses and non-profits become more bike friendly, we are offering six free Intro to Bike Commuting Classes this year to organizations with 100 employees or less.
