The growing number of bicyclists on the Yerevan streets is not only a new trend but also an important step for building sustainable and healthy society. The number of these vehicles starts to increase in Armenia. However, still smaller percent of people rides bikes to the workplace. In different countries of the world, “bike to work” campaigns are initiated and many people arrive to their workplaces on bicycles. Biking has its benefits both for an individual and the society, as well as for the environment and communities. Indeed, biking can become the new breakthrough in solving important health and environmental issues in Armenia.
The increase in cyclists’ number can have its direct positive impact on the environmental protection. Along with the reduction in the number of automobiles, the quantity of greenhouse gas emissions to the environment will also be reduced. This is an advantage also for urban areas and cities, particularly, for residents of Yerevan. Bike riding is the most convenient way to avoid the everyday traffic jams, especially in the hot summer season. Biking is also beneficial in terms of saving time and money. It is a good option for a morning workout, which promotes a healthy lifestyle for office workers during the day.
A group of VivaCell-MTS employees joined the “Bike to Work” international day and started their morning routine with cycling. The participants of the campaign arrived to their workplace, VivaCell-MTS Headquarters on their own bikes. The Company highly values this kind of approach towards the environmental protection.
“Every good initiative is worth implementation, thus, it requires support and encouragement. We highly value the responsible approach of our employees toward the environment and their own health. The availability of parking spaces for bicycles next to the headquarters, is a necessary precondition to promote this new approach among our employees and to be a role model for the society”, VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian said.
On the same day, VivaCell-MTS employees, who were eager to learn biking, went to Victory Park, where they gained this necessary and useful skill with the help of the Company’s volunteers.You can also reach us at 111 or 093 297111.
