Strong, united teams, capable of facing challenges and overcoming them, are increasingly important factors for obtaining good business results, which is why team building is increasingly relevant in the operational culture of an organization.
Currently, the need to foster true bonds of friendship between colleagues and even the importance of having a best friend in the workplace is defended.
This makes perfect sense, the closer someone feels to their co-worker(s), the more likely they are to do what they can to help them succeed.
These bonds are crucial to promoting happiness, a good business environment and enormous dedication to the company. They are fundamental pillars for overcoming challenges, achieving goals and also for the increasingly difficult task of retaining employees.
For this reason, when building teams, it's increasingly important to promote trust, union, solidarity and a spirit of mutual help.
Aware of this reality and because we have great experience in organizing bicycle tours and trips, we present 7 reasons why this is a very effective way to help create and strengthen these ties.
Team Building
7 Reasons to Ride an Electric Bike
1 - A bike ride forces everyone to "get out of work mode".
One of the fundamental factors for these actions is to remove teams/people from the workplace and make everyone "free" from the state of mind and the way of being that they normally have when they are in a work environment.
The bike tour connects us to childhood, transports people to a simpler time and this is great for helping people to disconnect, relax and get out of “work mode”.
2 - It transports us to adventure, discovery, holidays, leisure.
The bike ride is an excellent way to show and make known a new place (a city, a region, a mountain range, etc.) or to do about it another perspective, something that has a magical effect on all of us, we all like to feel on holidays, leisure, adventure and discovering new things.
3 - Physical exercise generates happiness.
Exercise gives endorphins and endorphins generate happiness, for this reason pedaling generates happiness.
4 – “Obliges everyone”, whether individually or as a group, to reach a goal, reach the end.
A bike tour/trip automatically creates an enormous desire in everyone to reach the end, that is, without having to outline a goal, everyone internalizes that they have a goal, both for themselves and for the group.
5 – A bike ride strengthens the relationship in the face of adversity.
Regardless of the degree of difficulty and duration of the tour, the truth is that during a bike ride there are always adversities, some inherent to this activity, others that can be placed when selecting the route and this is a fantastic way to strengthen the relationship, among all in the face of adversity.
6 - It's out of some people's comfort zone.
Not all are cyclists and there are even those who don't feel comfortable riding a bicycle, but this aspect is yet another (huge) advantage for strengthening the group's spirit of mutual help and unity. It’s at these times that everyone collaborates in supporting those who may have more difficulties, whether it is offering help, advice, support words and practicing patience.
7 – The advantage of the electric bicycle/e-bike in these actions.
An electric bicycle doesn’t move by itself, as with traditional bicycles you have to pedal.
The big difference is that it helps to reduce the effort and gives more comfort, which is crucial for people with less physical activity to feel motivated to participate, to be able to do it easier and to achieve their goal.
