The Benefits
The Assessment Process
This Bike Friendly Building Certification and report provides comprehensive analysis and recommendations regarding all aspects of how a site facilitates and promotes cycling as a transportation option for building occupants and visitors. HUB Cycling provides information and guidance about how to make cycling a welcoming and rewarding way for building users to come and go, and how to ensure that cycling facilities are ready for the ongoing evolution of cycling and multi-modal transportation in years to come.
Step 1: Initiate
HUB Cycling's team of professional planners and cycling experts will meet with clients to discuss the scope of work and provide a quote for either certification, ongoing consulting or both.
Step 2: Gather Data
HUB Bike Friendly Building Specialists gather initial data and prepare an assessment framework based on client needs.
Step 3: Site Visit & Plan Review
Specialists conduct an on-site, targeted, points-based assessment of your building's cycling facilities, connections, communications, incentives, and culture. If your project is in the design phase, experts will review all available site plans.
Step 4: Analysis & Scoring
The HUB analysis uses bylaws, industry best practices and guidelines to assess the site for ease of access, quality and quantity of short and long term bike storage, wayfinding, cycling friendly policies and more.
The assessment results in a score, with digital badges provided for bronze to platinum achievements.
Step 5: Final Report & Recommendations
Clients receive recommendations for score improvement, a resource guide outlining best practices, and a profile in HUB's Bike Awards event.
Many clients retain HUB Cycling's services for ongoing improvements.
Not ready for a full certification? HUB Cycling offers hourly consulting services to provide expertise working with engineers, architects and other professionals in the rezoning and development application process and can provoide ongoing design consultation.
