Register before you start...
* If you intend to come systematically by bike to work, then let it know to your employer: per km you earn 0,21€. This is not taxable. There are only two conditions: your home-office route is more than 3 km and you don't have a company car.* Whoever comes to work by bike (systematically or occasionally) can earn (usefull) goodies. Register on http://www.biketowork.be/ and identify yourself as employee at Mobistar. After confirmation by our Real Estate responsible, you will be able to indicate your cycling days. Per day you earn 1 point. It would be a pity to miss the opportunity...
* For insiders: don't forget the ICE challenge page.
Bicycle checkup...
* Lights: a frontal white lamp and a red lamp behind. The lights don't need to be fixated at the bike.
* Brakes: important!
* Oil your chain, otherwise it might break...Not a nice experience when you are just at that moment on the pedals.
* Reflectors: are mandatory: a red behind, a white in front, also in the wheels and at the pedals. It's a question of being seen.
Route
* Prepare your route: don't improvize the first time...you avoid nasty surprises by preparing your route
On the road
