Bike Leasing Made Easy for Everyday Riders
What is bike leasing?
Bike leasing is one of the most popular fringe benefits among employees, but what exactly does it involve?
With bicycle leasing, your employer provides you with a bicycle for a period of three or four years. During this lease period, you, as an employee, pay a fixed monthly or annual lease fee. At the end of the lease, you can return the bicycle and lease a brand-new one, or you can purchase the bicycle at a pre-determined residual value.
If your company doenst offer you a bike lease option you can also do it by yourself. Check by clicking on the o2o banner above for more informations or come by the shop.
