"In Belgium, employees receive compensation for every kilometre they ride, with some cyclists earning up to €810 per year.

And why not? Biking saves public money for everyone."

“All employees in Belgium who cycle to work are entitled to a bicycle allowance of €0.28 per kilometre of their commute.”

Belgian commutes pay off: Employees earn up to €810 for cycling to work

One in five people in Flanders commuted by bike and received compensation last year, but this figure is significantly lower in Brussels and Wallonia.

So many questions.

Do ebikes count?

Do riders get periodically audited to assure they're actually doing the trips?

Do riders have to submit log sheets for their rides?
