“Bicycle leasing is one of the best fringe benefits”

Kevin: “Bicycle leasing is one of the few fringe benefits that is the same for all our employees. White-collar and blue-collar workers can lease the same bicycle, with the same salary impact and under the same conditions. That fits us perfectly: we work side by side, without distinction.”

What does a bicycle leasing partner really need to deliver?

Kevin: “Peace of mind. The most important thing for me is that employees ask as few questions as possible and that the administration runs smoothly. o2o Bicycle Leasing delivers exactly that. I haven’t had a single problem in six years.”

How is bicycle leasing going today?

Kevin: “It’s been going really well right from the start. I expected 10 to 15 regular lease users, but we immediately started with 25 out of around 130 employees. Today, 24 employees lease a bicycle!”

“I help every employee with their order. It all goes smoothly: we submit the order and receive a reply from o2o within 48 hours. If someone wants to know the impact on their salary, I calculate it together with them using a few concrete examples and o2o’s calculation tool.”

What do employees appreciate most?

Kevin: “I see people cycling whom I never expected to. Employees who work shifts cycle throughout summer and winter. Their biggest motivation is that they can do without a car: the bicycle is fully reimbursed through the bicycle allowance, so bicycle leasing costs them next to nothing. It has also solved parking problems for many employees who live in Ghent.”

“For me, bicycle leasing through o2o is therefore one of the best fringe benefits available: it keeps people healthy, it is accessible to everyone and it can save employees money.”
