työsuhdepyöräily

Työsuhdepyöräily, often translated as "company bike benefit" or "work bike scheme," is a Finnish employee benefit that allows individuals to lease a bicycle or electric bicycle through their employer. This arrangement typically involves a monthly deduction from the employee's gross salary, which in turn is usually tax-deductible, making it a cost-effective way for employees to acquire a new bicycle. Employers facilitate the process by partnering with specialized leasing companies.

The scheme aims to promote cycling as a mode of transportation for commuting and leisure, contributing to employee well-being and environmental sustainability. Employees can often choose from a wide range of bicycles and accessories, including electric bikes, and the leasing period is usually between one and three years. After the lease term, employees often have the option to purchase the bicycle for a residual value, continue leasing, or return it. This benefit has gained significant popularity in Finland as a way to encourage healthier lifestyles and reduce carbon emissions.
