'Bike to work day', May 16, 2024
Thursday, May 16th, is the national 'Bike to Work Day'. Take your bike to work on this day, enjoy your bike ride, and receive a small appreciation when you arrive with your bike at the campus (staff) bicycle storage.
Why should you cycle to work on this day?
Cycling is healthy and good for the environment. Cycling is exercise, it helps you feel fitter and reduces stress. It clears your mind and allows you to enjoy the beautiful things around you that you might not have noticed otherwise.
Are you working from home on May 16th? You can still participate! Take a bike ride before work or during your break. You will feel energized for the rest of the workday.
Did you know that Tilburg University encourages cycling to work? You can receive a tax-free allowance when purchasing a new bike. If you cycle to the campus on the days you work there, you may qualify for a commuting expense reimbursement. More information: Bicycle and Walking Allowance
