Cycle Schemes

Save money on a new bike, cycling equipment, clothing, and accessories with the Cycle to Work Schemes. Cycle to Work Schemes are one of the most popular employee benefits in the UK, offering significant financial advantages for both employees and employers while supporting healthier and more sustainable commuting.

What is a Cycle to Work Scheme?

The Cycle to Work Scheme is a salary sacrifice arrangement that lets employees get a bike and approved cycling gear through their employer. The bike and accessories cost are deducted from their gross salary before tax and National Insurance are calculated. This means employees don’t pay tax on the bike and equipment value, saving them money. Introduced under the Finance Act 1999, the scheme aims to encourage healthier commutes and reduce environmental pollution. Employers lend bikes and safety equipment to employees as a tax-free benefit for the duration of the hire agreement.

What are the benefits of Cycle to Work Schemes?

For employees

  • Save between 28% and 42% on a new bike and accessories, depending on your tax bracket
  • Spread the cost over monthly salary deductions
  • No large upfront payment
  • Easier budgeting with predictable instalments
  • Reduced commuting costs and lower your carbon footprint

For employers

  • Improved staff perks
  • Improved staff wellbeing and retention
  • Demonstrates commitment to sustainability
  • Supports a positive, health-focused workplace culture

We accept the following schemes: Cycle Scheme (BHN Extras) , Green Commute Initiative, Cycle Solutions, Bike2Work, GoGeta and Caboodle Cycle2Work

Note: Only the Cycle Scheme (BHN Extras) can be redeemed online, if you have any other scheme, please contact our support team or any of our stores to build an order.

Only one order per certificate can be redeemed and so we advise customers to place a full value order at the time of checkout. All bikes are available to order through Cycle to Work, including clearance. If you wish to reserve a bike while your certificate is pending, please contact our support team or one of our stores.

How much can I save?
With Cyclescheme, for example, you can save between 26-40% on your new bike through tax efficient payments. Once you’ve checked your employer is signed up to Cyclescheme, you can go ahead and ask us for a quote or place an order if you’ve already got a certificate.
How much can I spend?
Most employers choose not to set a Cycle to Work scheme order limit. This means you can get the exact bike or e-bike and accessories you need to cycle commute.
Can I add my own funds?
No, you can’t add your own money when paying with any scheme as per the Cycle to Work scheme guidance.
How long does it take to get my voucher?
Once you have applied for your certificate, the process typically takes between 3-14 days, depending on how quickly your employer processes your application. If you have an application in place, you can check the status via your respective portal.
How often can I apply for a scheme?
The standard period for a Cycle to Work scheme Certificate is 12 months. Some employers do offer 6, 18 and 24 month schemes. You will ultimately need to check with your employer.
Do I need to spend the whole amount?
Most Cycle to Work schemes recommend that all participants redeem the full value of their eCertificates at the point of redemption, as it's essentially a 'use it or lose it' scenario.
