Cycle to Work Changes

A new ruling on Cycle to Work was scheme announced yesterday. This will potentially see an increase in how much any bike purchased through the scheme may end up costing you, so act quickly and get your order in early to ensure you get the best deal possible.

A bit about the Cycle to Work scheme

Cycle to work is a government scheme designed to encourage more people to ride a bike to work. So, how does it work? Essentially, your employer can buy any bike up to £1000 value, and lease it to you via tax free monthly repayments taken direct from your salary. At the end of a 12 month period you buy the bike back off your employer for a nominal value. This process reduces both the tax and National Insurance you pay, generating savings of up to 40% on the cost of your new bike. And as an extra incentive we are able to take C2W orders for bikes over the £1000 mark and accept an additional on the spot payment!

You don’t have to settle for any bike either; we’ve got a range of incredible spec bikes for under a grand, some of which are almost too nice to ride to work!
