I read this article this morning and thought the questions of how committed the company really is to cycling was a good one.

Many businesses wish to appear green as this helps their image but being green requires follow through. Follow through is not a matter of mere image.

I noted that my first read through. Doesn't change my mind that they're not as "green" or "bike friendly" as they could/should be. The overall tenor of their stance is that biking does not match their professional image, which is truly sad.
