為了推行環(huán)保主義和更加健康的生活方式，比利時(shí)、荷蘭等歐洲國(guó)家的很多企業(yè)都對(duì)騎自行車上班的員工進(jìn)行獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)，獎(jiǎng)金按他們騎自行車的路程計(jì)算。在比利時(shí)，員工騎自行車的獎(jiǎng)金為每公里29美分；荷蘭為15歐分，而英國(guó)則是每英里32美分，而且這些獎(jiǎng)金都是免稅的。據(jù)比利時(shí)財(cái)政部數(shù)據(jù)顯示，去年參與騎自行車上班活動(dòng)的人數(shù)超過(guò)27萬(wàn)，發(fā)出的獎(jiǎng)金總額高達(dá)6200萬(wàn)美元。其中，比利時(shí)連鎖折扣超市Colruyt已連續(xù)四年推行此項(xiàng)活動(dòng)，目前參與員工達(dá)2100人。該公司對(duì)那些居住地離單位路程在7公里以上的自行車活動(dòng)參與者免費(fèi)提供一輛自行車和車輛維護(hù)服務(wù)；并考慮為那些上班路程更遠(yuǎn)的員工提供電動(dòng)自行車，以讓更多員工參與到騎自行車上班的活動(dòng)中。

Employers in Belgium, the Netherlands and other European countries are rewarding staff if they come to work on a bicycle, paying them for every kilometer they cycle, all in an effort to promote environmentalism, not to mention a healthier lifestyle.

Getting paid for going to work may sound too good to be true, but it's part of an increasingly popular scheme for commuters across Europe.

Employers in Belgium, the Netherlands and other European countries are rewarding staff if they come to work on a bicycle, paying them for every kilometer they cycle, all in an effort to promote environmentalism, not to mention a healthier lifestyle.

In Belgium, cycling commuters are being paid 20 euro cents (29 U.S. cents) per kilometer, where as those in the Netherlands can earn 15 cents and participants in Britain up to 20 pence (32 U.S. cents) per mile -- all of it tax-free.

In Belgium, a popular cycling nation and home to five-time Tour de France and Giro D'Italia winner Eddie Merckx, finance ministry figures show that more than 270,000 people took part in the scheme last year, up from 140,000 in 2006.

Last year, that meant the Belgian tax man paid out 43 million euros ($62 million dollars) to those who bill for cycling to work.

"Higher oil prices and environmental awareness contribute to having more cyclists on the road," said Dieter Snauwaert, coordinator of the bike-to-work scheme of the Flemish cyclists' union in Belgium.

One of the most successful corporate proponents has been Belgian discount supermarket chain Colruyt, which launched the policy four years ago and now has 2,100 participants.

Colruyt provides employees who live up to 7 km away from work with a bicycle and takes care of maintenance.

Company spokesman Victor De Meester said that apart from employees being healthier there were also other advantages.

"The more people cycle to work the fewer parking spaces you have to offer. It's not so easy, especially in urban areas, to expand parking spaces," he said.

Colruyt, which has more than 22,000 employees, is now looking to target those who live further away than 7 km (4.4 miles) by offering electric bicycles to make it easier to negotiate larger distances.

"Our target is 400 participants by 2015 but given the response we have had so far this may be too low a number," De Meester said.

Colruyt's belief that employees who cycle to work are healthier than their colleagues who don't is backed up by research from Dutch organization TNO.

The researcher found that over the course of a year, cycling employees on average lose one working day less due to illness than employees who commute by other means.

If the number of workers who cycle to work increased by one percent, Dutch employers would save a total of 27 million euros per year, TNO said.
