[Bikingest Workplace] (4,5,6) -Lesson 3 /Business Communication in Action-

McMillan: One of the best things about cycling is that it provides regular exercise and decreases our carbon footprint - and makes you feel less guilty about having a jam doughnut during your coffee break.

Ueda: There's lots of data showing that bike commuters have lower healthcare premiums, experience fewer unexpected delays in getting to work and take fewer sick days than their colleagues. In my case, biking to and from the office helps me stay in shape and reduce my stress level.

Salmans: You're doing a good job of selling me on the idea of commuting by bike.

Ueda: Great. Here are some tips for beginner bike commuters. First, you need to take some basic precautions if you travel by bike on busy city streets. Stay off the sidewalks. Riding your bike on a sidewalk endangers pedestrians. They might not see or hear you as you approach them. One thing that many cyclists forget is that a bicycle is a machine, and that is can cause great harm if used inappropriately.

Grace: You'll need to learn the hand signals that cyclists use to show that they're slowing down or turning. In a crowded city like New York, it's important to let drivers and other cyclists know what you're going to do before you do it.
