If you’re looking for an affordable and accessible way to live longer, skip the pricey wellness retreats and quirky biohacks—just bike to work.

In Belgium, we get paid to bike to work by many employers!

0.21€ per km or so. Nothing crazy, but it increases motivation to bike to work

It's 0,36 euros per km ☺️ I'm getting paid 10,08 euros per day. Bike lease for a 9,7k euros bike and after 3 years I gain 1k euros more in total than I would have had if I went to work with train. (And own the bike)

Bike lease is being paid through your 13th month, but also the personal income tax, employee social contribution and employer social contribution part.

It's great in general.

And I don't have to deal with the nmbs their politics 👍🏻
