Cycle to Work
Want to choose a green way to commute to work, and get fit at the same time? Cycle to Work may be the answer!
What is the benefit?
The cycle to work scheme is supported by the government to encourage us all to cycle more on our daily commute, reduce our carbon footprints and improve our health.
Cycle to Work allows you to purchase a new bike and accessories with Tax and National Insurance savings and spread the cost over 12 months. Sound good? Further information on costs and coverage can be found on the Cycle Scheme website, please see link on the right hand side of this page.
How do I apply?
- Visit the Cycle Scheme website (company reference code: Amey) to see which bike shops are part of the scheme. Have a look at the bike and any safety accessories you want to buy (reflective clothing, helmets, lights etc) and add up the total amount
- On the Cycle Scheme website apply for a certificate. You will need to sign a hire agreement to confirm your salary deductions. The maximum certificate amount is £3,000.
- The HR team will review and approve your hire agreement and email you your Cycle Scheme certificate
- Once you have received the certificate, you can then take it to the bike shop and get your bike and accessories
