Cycle to Work

Sit back and watch the entire process of Cyclescheme in 3 minutes and 48 seconds, courtesy of our good friend, Bob.

Understanding the intricacies of the Cycle to Work scheme can sometimes be daunting. With so much jargon flying around, it's sometimes difficult to just get an overview of the whole process.

We took a step back and thought about how best we can convey the Cyclescheme process, without churning out page after page of text. Let's face it, when you find out your employer is about to launch a Cycle to Work scheme, the last thing you want to do is sit down and read through a load of T's and C's. You want to be visiting your local bike shop, looking at bikes and accessories and planning your commute to work.

That's why we've compacted the whole process down into two short (and hopefully light-hearted) animations featuring our good friend, Bob. In just 3 minutes and 48 seconds you can learn everything you need to know about Cyclescheme from the process of applying for a certificate, right through to the options available once your hire period is complete.

The second video guides you through the end of hire process and explains what actually happens when your hire period has come to an end.

We haven't aimed to cover absolutely everything in the videos as there can be slight variations in how a Cycle to Work scheme is run, but we hope these animations will help provide a useful overview of how everything works.

We're passionate about cycling and getting more people out and about on their bikes, so if you still need clarification on a certain aspect of the scheme, we're more than happy to talk you through it. You can check out our new website which has a wealth of information lurking about in our FAQ section, you can pick up the phone and give our Help Desk team a call on 0118 9661011.

Cycle to Work is a tax incentive aimed at encouraging employees to cycle to work, thereby reducing air pollution and improving their health.

. The scheme allows employees to benefit from a long term loan of bikes and commuting equipment such as lights, locks and panniers completely tax free.

Employers benefit from fitter, more punctual, more wide-awake staff. Employees benefit from better health and better bikes because their money goes further. With a budget of, say £400, an employee in the high tax-band can now afford a bike, plus accessories, worth nearly £800.
