A couple of ideas to pass to your office manager: A few days ago Cyclehoop installed a new ramp up the staircase of our new shop. Like a lot of Cyclehoop products the ramp is a brilliantly simple idea and it looks great. It has also made negotiating the stairs with a massive bike a piece of cake. We also have some new cycle stands. Each one holds up to five bikes and can be bolted to the floor. Very good value at £85.

Velojournal: Petition against obligatory reservation for bicycle on Swiss trains Swiss Railways have always been aware that people regularly riding bicycles are very good customers. However, since last April bicycles require a reservation on the tilting Intercity trains. And there is the threat that the measure will be extended to more services. A large number of cycling organisations is sponsoring a petition to revoke this measure and to improve capacity on trains for carrying cycles.
