If you’re looking for an affordable and accessible way to live longer, skip the pricey wellness retreats and quirky biohacks—just bike to work.

In Belgium, we get paid to bike to work by many employers!

0.21€ per km or so. Nothing crazy, but it increases motivation to bike to work

Not to mention the saved fuel cost, car maintenance cost and/or public transport cost ( though the latter is often reimbursed by the employer as well ).

You do get some money for driving to work in your taxes IIRC, but not even close to what you spend.
