Many of our employees lead an active lifestyle. For example, some prefer to get to work by bicycle. They note that it is convenient, economical in terms of money and time, and, most importantly, beneficial for health.
Let's discuss some of the advantages of choosing a bicycle:
- a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 145 g for every kilometer traveled by bicycle instead of by car;
- riding a bicycle at a speed of 15–20 km/h burns 400–500 calories per hour, whereas in a car or the subway a person remains stationary. Cyclists are less susceptible to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, do not typically struggle with excess weight, and have toned musculature;
- a reduction in the metropolis' noise level, which can reach 95 decibels, while a normal sound level is considered to be 30 decibels;
- many bicycles and their accessories are made from recycled materials;
- the mobility of this type of transport.
For those who choose a bicycle to get to work, there are dedicated bike parking areas at the central office in Moscow, regional offices, and the factories of «Восток-Сервис». During the warm months you can almost always see our employees' bicycles there, as they make their commute from home to work in a way that is good for their health.
