Why not leave your car in the garage?
When the weather's fine, we all think about it, but... there's always a "BUT"!
However, setting off by bike in the morning would be a great opportunity to get some fresh air and move around in a different way during your daily commute.
But you still need to be properly equipped so that you don't have to get up an hour early and arrive at the office sweating.
Have you thought about long-term hire of an electric VTC ? Read on, and we'll tell you everything you need to know to get you through.
The electric bike to convince you
With a conventional bike, it's hard to get over certain steep climbs or simply the 15 km between home and work. Electric assistance will enable you to overcome the difficulties of your route while pedalling.
During busy periods, you can even save time by avoiding traffic jams and parking your bike right next to your job!
Secondly, you won't arrive at the office sweating because the physical effort will be much less intense.
If you're equipped with panniers, you can even take your shopping home with you on the return journey, as loaded up pedalling will no longer be a problem.
Everyone has their own reasons for cycling more!
- Myriam wants to make the most of the fine summer days to get around by bike. She doesn't want to invest and store her bike over the winter yet.
- Léo17, needs transport for her summer job 12 km from her parents' home.
- Cécile has broken his car and can't get it fixed straight away.
- Pierre doesn't have a driving licence for a few months ... and the bike will be a solution for this transitional period.
Some companies also opt to hire electric bikes. The Ecrins National Parkwhose team expands in the summer, has opted for this alternative for its seasonal workers.
Ask your employer, who may be able to offer to pay for your bike hire for work-related journeys.
What you need to be at your best on your bike
- from transport bags (or a box securely attached to the luggage rack) to carry your shopping, picnic and sports equipment
- a anti-theft and a helmet for your safety,
- a rain gear at the bottom of the bag and a repair kitYou're never safe from a shower and a puncture!
Choose from secure routes (small roads are nuggets with little traffic) and identify the bike parks (there must be an app to identify them!)
With GUIL-EBike,
put use before possession
and participate in the eco-mobility of the territory!
