They pay them to go to work on bicycles

In many cases urban roads passed by a person with a car could easily be crossed by bicycle, which in cities with more relief can be solved by electrical bicycles. This highly populist phenomenon in pandemic times is now being rewarded with economic stimulants in many countries. The payment of bicycle workers began by several European governments in 2014 with the aim of reducing air pollution, consumption and fuel, and improving people's health. These programs were so successful that they are continuing to grow and advance.

Thus, Belgium has begun to pay from 0.05 euros per mile. So a ten-mile-to-work trip means additional revenues of 1,200 euros a year without taxes. Health insurance is not involved. Belgium is not alone. The Netherlands offers similar programmes, while Great Britain has driven even farther away. Bicycling Britons receive 0.23 euros per mile, and this is then added to the stimulus programme for the purchase of bicycles and the possibility of lowering clothing and bike access. In Luxembourg, meanwhile, tax stimulus is about 300 euros for the purchase of an electric bicycle to go to work.
