Health effects from bicycle commuting to work: Insights from participants of the German company-bicycle leasing program
ConclusionsThe findings indicate that the use of company leasing bicycles relates positively with physical and mental wellbeing. Compatibility is a significant determinant of active commuting, suggesting that company executives should endorse the perception that they share important values, lifestyles, and needs with employees. Changes in active commuting, however, did not increase health, most likely due to the short time scale under consideration. The findings help policy makers identify individual- and organization-level factors that relate to active commuting and health.
