Spheris Is Cycle Friendly

My office, Spheris India Pvt Ltd, yesterday approved free parking for cycles inside the office premises. It all started with a small thread in the intranet forum. For an employee strength of 1500+, there weren't even 30 replies I guess on that thread including the ones like "you'll get crushed under a BMTC bus." There wasn't much demand from the masses, except a small handful (really, really small) who were bit serious about it including me the on-paper-cyclist-without-a-cycle. Its remarkable that they approved it considering the low demand and the fact that other private transport like motorbikes and cars are differentially charged a monthly parking fee of Rs 200-400 pm if they want to park in the official parking area and not outside on the road. Also, the company has been discouraging people using private vehicles right from the beginning since they provide free company transport. I'm a bit too elated cos with hardly any takers, the company could have easily avoided the trouble.
