way to go Mr.Chris King!!
PORTLAND- Chris King Precision Components is a company that has built its reputation on going above and beyond.
From the first headset he made back in 1976, Chris King has proven that he sets his own standards and then keeps pushing them higher. But what many people don’t know about this privately held company is that King’s high standards go far beyond his products.
Take for instance the company’s approach to encouraging bike commuting. Chris King Precision Components has what might be the most comprehensive and aggressive encouragement program in the country.
Here’s a breakdown of what the company provides to its employees:
* Secure, indoor parking for every employee as well as a dedicated entry way for bikes.
* Contemporary locker room facilities for men and women with private shower stalls and changing areas.
* Full size lockers for every employee. (These lockers were salvaged from an older building and reconfigured with a custom designed ventilation system. Air is constantly circulated and drawn from the lockers to keep clothes and towels dry and smelling fresh.)
* Loaner bicycles, locks and lights available for checkout by any employee.
* Route mapping advice and instruction from our commuting coordinator.
* One-on-one meetings with all new hires to discuss transportation options and commuting strategies.
This past May alone, 81 vacation days were earned as part of the special bike commuter challenge. But employees didn’t just help themselves, their choice to ride instead of drive resulted in (based on 11,468 miles ridden)
