Cycling is an environmentally friendly and healthy alternative to driving and is becoming increasingly popular. Cycling to work on a company bike has numerous benefits, both for the individual and for society as a whole. In our article, we list the top three reasons why biking to work is a great option.


Health Benefits

One of the most obvious benefits of cycling is the improvement of physical health. Regular cycling can help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity. It also strengthens the immune system and increases lung capacity. Studies have shown that people who regularly ride a company bike to work are, on average, less sick and live longer.


Cost savings

Biking to work can also result in significant cost savings. Unlike driving a car, there are no gasoline costs, and no parking fees or vehicle maintenance costs to pay. The only costs that may be incurred are the purchase cost of the company bike and occasional maintenance and repair costs. This can pay off significantly, especially in the long run. Incidentally, with Lease a Bike's all-round protection, the costs of inspections and maintenance are fully covered, and the free Europe-wide mobility guarantee ensures that you are quickly mobile again in the event of breakdowns. Service bike leasing also has the advantage that you can count on a constant, moderate monthly rate and even a saving of up to 40% compared to purchasing.

Environmental benefits

Cycling is an environmentally friendly complement to driving a car. Unlike a car, a service bike produces no harmful emissions and does not contribute to air pollution. In addition, it helps to reduce road congestion and traffic, which can help to reduce CO₂ emissions and noise. So by cycling, you can actively help reduce your environmental impact.


In summary, biking to work is an ideal opportunity to improve your physical health, save money and reduce your environmental impact. It's an easy option to get more exercise and lead a more active life. It's also a great way to enjoy your daily commute and reduce the stress of traffic. So if you have the opportunity to ride a service bike to work, be sure to give it a try! Find out more about company bike leasing now.
