An estimated 15% of the population has no bicycle at all. This hinders people in their freedom of movement, social contacts and opportunities. 'A bike for all' wants to help people in transport poverty move forward with a bicycle.
Bike for LifeWeatherman Bram Verbruggen is the face of Bike for Life. As a cyclist with his heart in the right place, he sets a good example and encourages all employers and employees to join.

Cycle to work with your hearts from October 3 until October 31

Bike for Life invites companies, organisations, municipalities and schools to cycle with their employees. Participating employers sponsor the bike rides of their employees from 3 to 31 October with a self-determined amount per ride to work. The proceeds will help people in need of a (shared) bicycle.

Register as an employer

Register your company, municipality, town, school or organisation before 1 September: create an employer account at www.biketowork.be (if you do not have one yet). Sponsor the home-work trips of your cycling colleagues in October. You determine the amount per ride via the employer account and you can set a maximum sponsorship amount. Employees register their bicycle rides in October on www.biketowork.be.
