- I know that the Chevron Refinery in Richmond has bicyles that can be used
- on-plant by the employees going from one building to another. Chevron
- provides the bicyles.

- You pick one up outside the building you are in, ride it to the building
- you are going to, then leave it in the rack outside.
-
- I also came across another firm that did the same thing recently, but
- I cannot remember which one or where.
-
- Our facilities department has tricycles for going between buildings with
- small parts and tools. Larger and heavier parts are moved by van or truck.
