Through CycloCare, Clément Schmitt provides companies with bike repair and maintenance services for employees at their workplace, encouraging them to adopt a more eco-friendly mode of transport... while creating jobs for people in reintegration.

CycloCare, the workshop that takes care of your bikes and the people who repair them.” This is the motto of the company co-founded by Clément Schmitt.

The initial idea was to create a mobile repair workshop for the bikes of Parisian employees by coming directly to companies to take care of their bikes when needed. Additionally, this young company, recognized as a social enterprise, offers training to individuals in professional reintegration, thus fulfilling a dual mission, both social and environmental.

CycloCare is made up of a team with diverse backgrounds and training: “We offer CDDI: Contrat à Durée Déterminée d’Insertion, a period during which we must remove all barriers to professional integration (...) our role is to be a springboard, a bridge.”

Moreover, by promoting this eco-friendly and economical mode of transport at work, Clément Schmitt enhances employee well-being, as the benefits of biking on mental health are undeniable: “Several studies show that there is an improvement in well-being and quality of life at work, thanks to bike commutes in the morning. When we arrive at work, we have also avoided an hour standing in public transport,” explains the 34-year-old entrepreneur.


By developing useful services for everyone, this committed company has integrated impact at all levels and for all its stakeholders: it acts for People (its employees, its clients, etc.) as well as for the Planet.
