Cycle To Work - how to 'help' your employer...

The Cycle to Work scheme is a government initiative to encourage cycling. Employers that sign up usually let employees choose the bicycle and equipment up to a value of £1,000. This cost is met by deductions from an employee’s salary, before taxation, over a year, cutting the bike’s cost and spreading it over time. The scheme is still running and the government has signalled it will continue.

However, your employer has to decide to participate. This is straightforward and much of it can be done online at tinyurl.com/yeh988p. If yours is reluctant, you could canvass colleagues to gauge the level of interest and, if there is enthusiasm, try using that information to persuade your employer to join in.
