Jacobs Engineering Group: Bunch of tossers. - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

mr_tom · 10th July 2007

Jacobs Engineering Group have banned their employees from cycling, on 'health and safety' grounds. Given that they're in bed with TfL, that's simultaneously horrifying yet unsurprising.

"If Jacobs does not understand how important cycling is to TfL, we need to ask whether they are the right sort of company to work with." - Jenny Jones

That's so stupid.

And anyway, how can your employer have any control over what you do before you start working? :S

They could do things like: require a driving license, remove all showers and bike parking. I'm sure the idiots will think of something.

I bet one of the CEO's got cut up by a cyclist on his way to work.

Maybe we should start causing (minor) traffic accidents to all the poeple who drive into their car park. Some caltrops here, a little bit of oil there, low hanging branches. That kind of thing. Just in the places where only cars would be.

I'd love to work out a way for everyone who drove in on one day to get a mildly sprained ankle :-)
