Swapfiets is a business that lease bikes to those who are not interested in buying their own bike or want a bike without having to do maintenance on it. All Swapfiets bikes have a blue front tire... making them easy to recognize. Swapfiets leases bikes to students (at a discount), professionals, and anyone who is interested in having a month by month subscription to their services.
Why sustainable?
Swapfiets is a sustainable business as it encourages the use of bikes to get around. This reduces CO2 emissions while motivating people to exercise. In addition, rather than buying new products, Swapfiets is about using, which can reduce the amount of resources needed to produce new products. They also started leasing e-bikes, which can be an alternative for taking the car to work, reducing CO2 emmisions
