We don’t need to explain that sharing is the new owning. And thus, there are many reasons why shared bikes are a good idea to implement in companies. Here are the seven most important ones:
1. Healthier employees
People who regularly cycle to work are fitter. Cycling is good for the body in many ways: 50 kilometers a week cycling reduces the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases by 45%. Cycling also gives little chance of injuries because the joints suffer less from gravity. Daily cycling also makes you slimmer and that must be a bonus for most of us, no?
2. Happier employees
Cycling to and from work clears one's head after a busy working day. Traffic jam frustrations are making place for pleasant journeys. Cycling often happens together and is therefore also more social. Moreover, cyclists are more creative because of the stimuli of their surroundings. Moving also releases endorphins that make you happy and creates a good mood. Bye bye morning mood! 😃
3. Cheaper
Cycling is cheap: no expensive fuel or parking is required. Bicycles are 100% tax-deductible for the company and employees receive a bicycle allowance 👛 for their commuting. Everyone happy.
4. More environmentally friendly
Because no particulate matter or CO² is emitted, cycling is good for the climate and air quality. After all, future generations deserve a clean planet and future, too, don't they? 🌍
5. More sustainable
Did you know that your own vehicles are stationary on average 86% of the day? Shared bikes are also more usable than private bikes. We need more cyclists, not more 🚲 bikes.
6. Easier
Shared bikes are a carefree solution: there is always and everywhere a high-quality and well maintained bicycle available for employees or visitors. You don't have to worry about the maintenance or repairs either.
7. More efficient
Shared bikes provide more efficient travel and facilitate mobility on your company’s site. Moreover, cycling often goes a lot faster because you have no traffic jams or delays. The bicycle usually takes you everywhere.👌
