Because cycling has a tax advantage: company bicycles and all associated expenses (cycle parking areas, changing rooms...) are 120% tax deductible.

Bike to Work from the perspective of 3 employers
They participate in Bike to Work, because they want to motivate their employees to cycle more, because it is in tune with their remuneration policy or because the bike fits in perfectly with their positioning as a sustainable company.
Sofie Senaeve
Responsible for sports promotion in the city of Torhout
"During competitions like the Summer Challenge and the Winter Trophy you see the number of bikers increase every time. Moreover, the bike point system stimulates our employees to cycle as much as possible during the entire year, for one biked day provides one bike point, and they can then exchange these bike points against bike related advantages. Moreover, the online platform gives you a good total overview of the number of kilometres that you have cycled."
Geert Van Landuyt
CEO of supply company Van Landuyt
"As employer we particularly promoted the bike as an extra-legal advantage. All employees receive the maximum exempt cycle tax allowance: 22 eurocents per biked kilometre. The Bike to Work platform provides a smart reporting tool to register the cycle allowance and those data can be easily imported in the payroll processing package of the payroll secretariat."
Griet Dillen
Environmental coordinator for Pfizer
"Why do we commit ourselves to the bike? First of all: we wish to promote a healthy lifestyle among our employees. Encouraging cyclist to cycle more fits perfectly within the image of Pfizer as a sustainable company. Secondly: this helps us to reduce road congestion. Thirdly: we are a rapidly expanding company, which means that more of our car parking will be replaced by production buildings."
