A better way to commute

What is the Cycle to Work Scheme?

Your employer buys the bike and equipment you choose, then you repay the cost from your gross salary. Because payments are taken before Income Tax and National Insurance, you can make a substantial saving while spreading the cost.

Keep more of your salary

Save between 28% and 47%, depending on your tax rate and circumstances.

Choose more than a bike

Add eligible safety equipment and accessories such as a helmet, lights and a lock.

Make every journey count

Build activity into your day, reduce congestion and make a lower-impact commute.

Any kind of cycle, from everyday commuters to e-bikes.
