What is the Cycle to Work Scheme?

This government approved employee benefit means employees can acquire bikes and accessories through their employer, with the cost deducted from their salary, pre-tax, over a fixed period – this is called salary sacrifice. It’s cost-effective, promotes a greener commute and helps to build a healthier workplace!

This means there's even more choice!

Typically, the process takes a few days but will depend on your scheme and its parameters. Once all agreements are signed and providing everything is in stock, it will be sent out as soon as possible. For bike shop orders through our partner network, we issue a letter of collection for you to go and collect your order.
