Consider Biking would like to thank Capitol Crossroads Special Improvement District (CCSID) for their partnership in this Bike Friendly Building designation. We are excited to have their visionary leadership in helping showcase downtown Columbus as a more sustainable, “green,” and attractive neighborhood for work and play.   Twelve properties were identified as “meeting or exceeding” expectations for bicycle end-of-ride facilities. Safe, secure, covered parking was a bare minimum for this designation; shower and locker facilities added additional points to the scoring.    These twelve buildings make up the inaugural “Bike Friendly Building” designation: 
  • Rhodes Tower (30 E Broad),
  • Huntington Center (41 S High),
  • Capitol Square Office Tower (65 E State),
  • Riffe Center (77 S High),
  • William Green Tower,
  • Nationwide Buildings,
  • 280 North High Street,
  • Lazarus Office Building / Government Center,
  • Miranova 2 Office Tower,
  • Motorists Mutual Building,
  • US Bank Building (175 S Third),
  • SERS (300 E Broad)  
 
Consider Biking applauds these properties for their leadership in this simple, but effective measure, to make our downtown workplaces more attractive to healthful employees and visitors.
