Save big with safety
Nothing is more costly than a recordable incident. It especially hurts when the accidents are easily avoidable. When it comes to bike-related incidents, the biggest causes—tire and chain failure—can be avoided with Rugged Cycles' airless, chainless technology.
"We felt 65% of our fleet of old (chain) bikes were potential incidents waiting to happen." - Manager* at a Gulf Coast Plant (GCP), where after 5 years without injury, there were recently three chain-related injuries.
"The value of (avoiding) the incidents would have easily paid for the first installment of bikes." -GCP Manager, after calculating the savings of a Rugged Cycle fleet.
If you or your employees are still riding chain-driven, pneumatic-tire bikes, replacing them with Rugged Cycles will make them safer every time they ride.
Considering the average lost-time injury costs $43,000**, any money invested to improve safety conditions is money well spent. According to OSHA, every $1 invested in safety yields a $4-$6 return. With $300 of safety equipment on every Rugged Cycle, they are the only bikes to provide a return on your plant's investment.

Even if you're lucky enough to have never experienced a bike-related injury, traditional bikes are still hurting your bottom line.
Save everyday with drastically reduced maintenance
Rugged Cycles need very little maintenance. Based on more than two years of data, it costs less than $15.00 per year to maintain a Rugged Cycle.
Compare that to a recent customer survey, where respondents reportedly spent an average of $115 on parts and maintenance for each of their chain-driven, pneumatic-tire bikes. Separate from our customer survey, clients have reported to us they spend as much as $250 per chain-driven, pneumatic-tire bike.
