The Atlassian Sydney office isn't the only office where you'll find a lot of bicyclists. In San Francisco, Atlassian recently won an Honorable Mention as a bike-friendly business!
Atlassian was recognized for a number of reasons:
- On average 20% of the employees in SF bike to work;
- It's not only a bicycle-friendly ride (the company is located on bicycle routes) but we work in a bicycle-friendly building... meaning you can bring your bike inside where it's safe;
- Many employees participate in group rides in the afternoons or evenings;
- and lastly, the Atlassian Foundation matches employee donations to charities, including the Bike Coalition.
Meanwhile, the office in Amsterdam shrugs its shoulders and wonders what all the fuss is about. After all, the Amsterdam office is located in the biking capital of the world. :)

And if Amsterdam is the biking capital of the world I have to add that Münster (Germany, 10 hours away - by bike) is the cycling capital.

Sydney Atlassian's just had Ride to Work Day on October 15th - check out the photos - http://www.flickr.com/photos/atlassian/sets/72157608400466078/. Now that the weather is warming up we're definitely getting more people cycling to the office.
