The Cycle to Work Scheme allows employees to purchase a new bike and accessories tax-free by paying through their employer over monthly instalments. This means you can save up to 42% on the cost of a new bike, depending on your tax bracket.

The scheme is designed to promote healthier commutes and reduce congestion – and it’s open to all working adults whose employer is enrolled in the programme.

The Cycle to Work Scheme works through a process called salary sacrifice. This means you agree to give up a portion of your gross salary in exchange for the hire of a bike and/or equipment. Because the payments are taken before tax and National Insurance are applied, you pay less overall – making this a cost-effective way to get cycling.

Please note that salary sacrifice schemes are only available to employees who pay tax through PAYE (Pay As You Earn).

Use our Cycle to Work Calculator below to find out how much you could save through salary sacrifice.

Cycle to Work scheme providers charge retailers a commission fee to process each voucher. This fee is deducted from the value of the voucher and, in some cases, can be quite significant.

If you are looking to purchase a bike that is already discounted or on sale we may apply a surcharge depending on the voucher provider.

If you have any questions about how this might affect your order, our team is more than happy to help. Just get in touch using the form above and we’ll guide you through the options.
