Freewheelin
Humana’s Freewheelin bicycle-sharing program leverages the enormous interest in, and growth of, bicycling around the world. Humana developed the program for employees in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2007. The program has since expanded to other areas across the United States.
Why Bike?
- Personal health - Just three hours of bicycling per week can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke by 50 percent. (League of American Bicyclists)
- Environmental health - The United States could save 462 millions of gallons of gasoline a year by increasing cycling from 1 percent to 1.5 percent of all trips. (Chicagoland Bicycle Federation, Bike Traffic, May 2002)
More About Freewheelin
In 2008, Humana and Bikes Belong teamed up to bring Freewheelin to the Democratic National Convention in Denver and the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The goal is to show that bikes are a great solution for short trips and recreation, and at the same time will reduce both conventions’ carbon footprints, traffic, parking congestion and transportation costs, not to mention reducing calories.
