Contact Us for a Cycle to Work QuoteIf you employer hasn’t signed up to one of the available cycle to work schemes, the details of how to sign up are on the relevant providers websites below. We would recommend Green Commute Initiative. Their scheme is super easy to use, doesn't require companies to sign up and would give employees the most choice of cycle shops to use.
Your employer has to be willing to run the scheme before you can get your bike. This is because the scheme can only run through what is known as a salary sacrifice, where you agree to temporarily reduce your wages to pay for the hire of goods‚ in this case a bike and equipment. The scheme is available to UK tax payers who pay PAYE. Please note that the self-employed cannot take part in the scheme.
