- The Livermore facility of Sandia National Laboratory provides bikes for
- getting around campus and I'm pretty sure the Lawrence Livermore National
- Lab does too.
-
- Taligent, Inc. (my employer) has considered purchasing a few bikes for
- those who regularly travel between our three buildings. I haven't heard
- anything recently on the idea, but I suspect the short distance between the
- buildings (3-4 blocks) is not that onerous to us as a whole.
-
- Somewhere else in this thread someone suggested maybe Apple does such a
- thing. My company is surrounded by the Apple campus and I have friends who
- work there but I've never seen or heard of Apple bikes for getting around
- campus.
