fiets

The bicycle has been a popular mode of transport for quite some time now. We found the beauty of our nature again and took to cycling en masse during or after the Corona pandemic. So it's no big surprise anymore, cycling gets you to work stress-free and it's good for your health. But did you already know that you might be able to cycle your dream bike together, without paying a single euro for it?

Interesting leasing formula

Through the company, employees can take advantage of bicycle leasing for commuting and flexible pay. At Cyclis, employees have their dream bike put together at a local bike dealer of their choice. Then the leasing company pours this into a hardscrabble all-in formula, and the employee’s benefit runs up to 40% over a private purchase in the store. If you bike to work enough on top of this and your employer provides a bike allowance, you can (partially) recoup the net cost or even make a profit on this….

What does a bicycle cost in this leasing formula? The ideal scenario!

Advantageous bicycle allowance

Employees who bike to work can get a nice bike allowance from their employer for doing so. The net bicycle allowance is currently €0.27/km. So it’s definitely worth trading in the car for the bike on a regular basis. In addition, you also save on certain car expenses such as fuel, maintenance, insurance…

Distances up to 50km

Longer distances are no longer a challenge with the rise of the electric bicycle (<25km/h) and the speed pedelec (<45km/h). With a regular E-bike you can easily cover distances up to 30km, with the speed-bike this number even goes up to 50km. Employees who use bicycles to commute to work are thus rewarded extra for doing so. Not only in kilograms, but also in euros!

Bicycle highways in Belgium

Moreover, more and more bicycle highways are also being built in Belgium. These constructed bicycle car lanes allow you to move from point A to point B quickly, efficiently and hassle-free.
