Cycle To Work

Further Information

🚴 Cycle to Work is open to all employees paid through the PAYE system. It is not available to self-employed workers or employees on the National Minimum Wage, as salary sacrifice cannot reduce their earnings below the minimum wage threshold.

🚴 You can purchase bicycles, including e-bikes that comply with EAPC rules, and a range of safety equipment such as helmets, lights, locks, and reflective clothing. The scheme covers any cycle that helps you commute, including non-standard cycles like tricycles and adapted cycles for disabilities​.

🚴 As for other stores, the Cycle to Work scheme usually only applies to pre-discounted prices. Discount vouchers cannot be used in conjunction with Cycle to Work.

🚴 While the bike should primarily be used for commuting, you can also use it for personal activities.

🚴 You'll need to send proof of identity, such as driving licence, or a utility bill along with your voucher / collection letter.

🚴 At the end of the hire period, you can usually choose to return the bike, buy it at a fair market value, or extend the hire period often at no cost. Most providers offer the option to buy the bike at a significantly reduced price after the initial hire period, so check with your scheme.

🚴 It is recommended to insure your bike against theft or damage, as you will be liable for repayments even if the bike is stolen or written off during the hire period. See our links to Laka for innovative e-bike insurance.
