🚄 ECF calls for better bicycle integration in high-speed rail (HSR) 🚲

Following the results of our #CyclistsLoveTrains report, HSR is by far the lowest-performing category when it comes to accepting non-dismantled bicycles.

We suggest solutions in our latest paper: tinyurl.com/3xbpr556

Company bike leasing (CBL) unlocks a myriad of benefits—Germany is proof. 🚲

The country adopted CBL early and now boasts 2.1 million company bikes on the road — mostly e-bikes 🔋 — supporting the cycling industry and promoting healthier, happier communities.

Here’s another reason legislators shouldn’t overlook #CompanyBikeLeasing: its economic returns. 📈

In Germany for instance, CBL contributes to 491,000 related jobs, with CBL providers generating a total turnover of 3.1 billion euros in 2024.

🛑 The problem: Europe’s
#GreeningCorporateFleets initiative risks overlooking a major clean mobility solution—bikes and e-bikes.

✅ Our ask to lawmakers:
- Include (e-)bikes in zero-emission fleet rules.
- Let corporate cycling count toward climate targets.

Owning a bike is becoming more accessible thanks to 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗕𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴, now a valued job benefit across several EU countries.

Expanding this model across Europe could lead to healthier communities, higher job satisfaction, and a stronger shift to #activetravel as a daily mode of transport. 🚲🌍
