Pedal for Sport2Be

Cycling for a good cause? To develop the socio-professional integration of young people through sport, Basic-Fit and Sport2Be have launched a challenge to collect as many kilometres as possible in 1 week. 1 kilometre equals 1 hour of free sports for youngsters of Sport2Be. And for that, we needed you, our members and employees !

Good news! The challenge was met with flying colours by our Basic-Fit members, employees and ambassadors. We greatly surpassed the results of the previous edition! Together, we achieved 39.249,18 kilometres! That's 14.220km more than last year!

On Saturday 7 December, the official launch of Pedal for Sport2Be took place in the beautiful setting of Gare Maritime (Tour & Taxis) in Brussels. The event brought together two teams: one team with an ultra-sporty cyclist on a Basic-Fit exercise bike and another in which young people from Sport2Be took over the wheel, alternately assisted by (sports) celebrities and members of Basic-Fit.

With the support of the likes of Axel Merckx, Tim Celen, Florence Frelinx, Florianne Bonnier, Jean Leclerq, Gijs Leyman and many other enthusiastic participants, we look back on an unforgettable day full of energy, connection and support for Sport2Be.

To thank them for their support, all participants received a Basic-Fit Starter Kit and one lucky participant was surprised with a brand new Basic-Fit Smart Bike. An inspiring start for a great initiative!

Between 7 and 14 December, we invited all our members in our Basic-Fit clubs in Belgium to take up this challenge. 5 bikes per club were brought out especially for the 'Pedal for Sport2Be' event. Many of you got on these bikes, pedalled and supported Sports2Be!

Thanks to your contribution, 1.050 youngsters will be able sport for free one hour per week during one year, for a total of 39.250 hours of free sports. In addition, 4 participants will win one of the 2 signed shirts by football team Anderlecht or one of the 2 duo tickets for a Europa League match RSCA-Hoffenheim on 30/01/2025. On top of that, one participant will win a Basic-Fit Smart Bike.
