Friday is National Ride Your Bike to Work Day, the finale of Bike to Work Week, which celebrates those who choose to commute to work on a bicycle. For employees who live relatively close to their workplace, riding a bike to work can be a fun, alternative commuting option. Not to mention, choosing to bike instead of driving or taking public transit can reduce traffic, limit CO2 emissions, and help improve health and well-being by adding an activity to the daily routine.
Employers can encourage employees to get to work by bike, and support those who already do, with a simple solution: a bicycle commuter program. This is a simple reimbursement plan that is easy to design and implement, and it’s completely customizable to meet the needs of each organization. Most importantly, it shows those cyclists among the workforce that you recognize and support their commuting needs, too!
Have we got your wheels spinning now? Great! We’re here any time to discuss bicycle commuter benefits or any other type of lifestyle spending account you might be interested in adding to your benefits package.
