It has become incredibly popular to cycle to work, and everything indicates that even more people will choose the bicycle in the future as their preferred means of transport. Already now, more than half of all Copenhageners pedal away on their bikes every morning. Engholmene Business Centre is situated on one of Copenhagen’s popular Green Cycle Routes. They are connected with other Green Cycle Routes and also linked to the network of Super Cycle Paths.

A business achieves many advantages by thinking cycling conditions into both placement and facilities. An analysis from the Confederation of Danish Industries (DI) shows that good cycling conditions can be used actively when recruiting new employees. The analyses also indicates that, when an employee swaps his daily car trip or train ride with cycling, it is showing on the bottom line in the form of fewer days off sick. A calculation shows that with just 10 per cent more cycling in Denmark, the number of days off sick would fall overall, by 267,000, of which 112,000 would be workdays. At Engholmene Business Centre they can as a company offer their employees both good cycle routes to and from work and a good place to park the bicycle when you come in for work in the morning.
