The Man says 'no riding to work??'

[windsurfnut]

I'm one of those guys, who gets an allowance, and outside sales is a large part of my duties.  Riding the bike to work is discouraged, and I do agree, as any time I arrive or leave the office, it is seen as business travel, or at least assumed that I am travelling for business.  Arriving for a sales appointment with a  bike, is not seen as appropriate, as I cannot bring samples, and gloating my wealth (even if I don't have wealth!)
When I do ride the bike, I ensure I arrive to the office early and leave late.

Now, if I was in a different role, where working 8-5 at the office was normal duties, I wouldn't think twice about riding every nice day.

Was that a work specific benefit or does Workers Comp apply like that to everyone down there?

I'm pretty sure it's for everyone.

Don't quote me....different States may have different laws.

I get a car allowance and mostly* ride to the office or to visit customers.  The customers don't seem to mind, most of them are impressed.

My coworkers seem to appreciate that I get to the customer sites faster than I would in a car as I don't have to worry about traffic.

I don't flaunt it to upper management but they all know I ride.  Far better than the standard issue Ford Explorer.

(*sometimes I ride my bicycle instead, if it's close)

I've got to say if they'd use what you ride to work as an excuse to fire you if you refuse to use a car to/from work, they don't really care that much about you or your abilities. A lame ass excuse for them if ever their was one!
