Green Check Lexington
May 19th, 2026
Bullhorn gears up with alternative transportation benefits.

Bullhorn gears up with alternative transportation benefits. May has traditionally been observed as Bike Month, but this year, the City of Lexington and the Lexington Area Metropolitan Planning Organization are celebrating Bike Walk Month instead! Whether you're a cyclist, pedestrian, driver or all three, Bike Walk Month reminds Lexingtonians that streets are shared spaces for all. In honor of Bike Walk Month, Greenchecklex is spotlighting Bullhorn and how they roll as a Bicycle Friendly Business. Bullhorn's founders are both cyclists and bike enthusiasts. Bullhorn showcases their bicycle friendliness as soon as a new employee walks through the door. Bullhorn offers a free bike from nearby Broke Spoke Community Bike Shop to any local employee. They also provide priority bike parking at their office. According to Emily Minner, EOS Integrator at Bullhorn, "Our new bike policy stands out as a unique benefit to potential employees. It sets the tone from the start that Bullhorn cares about our employees, our city, and the environment." The support for alternative transportation doesn't stop at the front door. Bullhorn sponsors multiple bike-related activities, including bike maintenance workshops and group bike rides on the Legacy Trail. They have also coordinated employee volunteer nights at Broke Spoke Community Bike Shop. In addition to being a Gold level certified Green Check business, Bullhorn is also a Certified B Corporation. B Corps are verified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of accountability and transparency with regard to social and environmental performance. So, it's not just bicycling that they promote; any trip that's not in a single-occupancy motor vehicle has environmental benefits. That's why Bullhorn also reimburses employees for riding Lextran and encourages carpooling to meetings and events. Bullhorn isn't the only Green Check business that is certified with the League of American Bicyclists. Others include: * Lexmark - Gold * Mediocre Creative - Gold * West Sixth Brewing - Silver
