Gunnebo Entrance Control has launched a downloadable white paper investigating why businesses should encourage active commuting
With active transport (walking and cycling) making it onto the decarbonisation agenda for the first time at COP29, ‘Encouraging Healthier Commuting’, looks at the positive environmental and health benefits of cycle commuting and how employers can encourage it as a way of travelling to work.
Revealing the boost to heath, well-being and productivity that cycle commuting has on the workforce, the white paper also looks at the factors stopping people from cycling, such as theft, access and storage.
The SpeedStile FL Bike, from a global leader in secure entrance control solutions, is a smart solution that addresses the growing demand for secure and user-friendly access control systems tailored to sustainable transport users.
This advanced speed gate ensures smooth and safe transit for bicycles and scooters while protecting personal mobility devices with its sleek tempered glass wings. At the core of the SpeedStile FL Bike is its advanced induction loop technology, which accurately detects bicycles and scooters to prevent collisions and enhance user safety.
Says Tina Hughan, Global Marketing and Sustainability Director at Gunnebo Entrance Control: "Our new white paper reveals just how beneficial cycle commuting can be for businesses but also takes a look at the challenges they face in encouraging employees to make the switch. As cities globally embrace cycling as a sustainable mode of transport, we’ve prioritised delivering innovative access solutions that address this shift. The SpeedStile FL Bike is a testament to our commitment to safety, security, and sustainability, enhancing urban mobility and the need for more connected environments."
Constructed for both indoor and outdoor use, the gate features brushed stainless steel, black glass, and Z-shaped tempered glass barriers, delivering durability alongside a sleek, contemporary aesthetic. This robust design ensures reliable performance in external conditions while seamlessly integrating with modern architectural spaces.
Safety and security are paramount in the SpeedStile FL Bike’s design. Equipped with 36 infrared sensors, it detects tailgating and wrong-way access, guaranteeing efficient and secure operation even in high-traffic environments. With the latest technology and user-focused innovation, the gate is an ideal solution for office complexes, public bike parking facilities, and residential spaces, supporting the global shift toward greener mobility.
Tina concludes: “Through the white paper, we aim to engage industry leaders and stakeholders in a conversation about the role of innovative entrance control systems in creating safer, more sustainable urban environments. The SpeedStile FL Bike is an important step forward in making cities more inclusive and adaptable to the needs of cyclists, scooter users, and pedestrians alike.”
