Getting paid to ride bike
Print Edition
FRANCE has started a six-month experiment with paying people to cycle to work, joining other European governments in trying to boost bicycle use to improve people’s health, reduce air pollution and cut fossil fuel consumption.
Several countries including the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Belgium and Britain have bike-to-work schemes, with different kinds of incentives such as tax breaks, payments per kilometer and financial support for buying bicycles.
In France, some 20 companies and institutions employing a total of 10,000 people have signed up to pay their staff 25 euro cents (US 34 cents) per kilometer biked to work, the transport ministry said on Monday.
French Transport Minister Frederic Cuvillier said if results of the test are promising, a second experiment will be done.
