Cycle to work scheme

[buzzy bee]

My company has signed up and it's encouraged a vast number of people to get a bike. Not all of them actually commute but there seem to be very few if no checks at all. It was the way I got my first bike and there's no way I could have afforded one otherwise. I'm now on bike number two and pay £25 a month for £500 worth of bike and accessories. Hurray!

What bike did you get then?

Ive just got my second bike on the cycle scheme. My first bike was a scott speedster s60. Now ive upgraded to a Orbea onix.I ride to work bout 3/4 times a week and go out weekends.

Is there a certain scheme for Students?

No as you don't pay Tax.

Does anyone know if electric bike's are covered by the scheme?

 

[PC_Arcade]

They are under our cycle to work scheme (Cycleplus), but I think it varies from scheme to scheme

 

[Downward]

Yes Electric Bikes are Covered

What bike did you get then?

My first was a Pinnacle stratus 1.0 (Roger) and a year later I used the scheme again and upgraded to a more roadie Specialized Sirrus (Reg). As well as the bikes, I used the vouchers to buy clothing, a helmet, a rack and panniers.

I feel more comfy on men's bikes because I have odd proportions and am quite tall for a lady.

Where did you get the Boardman under the scheme because I did a search for Halfords near me under the scheme but couldn't find them registered as I want to get one of the Boardman Bikes.

Halfords have their own scheme - run to the same goverment rules but administered by themselves. So I believe Halfords won't be part of a scheme administered by anyone else, e.g cyclescheme et al.

Some peoples employer have opted to use cyclescheme, others have signed up to the HalfordsC2W scheme. I suspect Eviljeem's employer will have signed up to the HalfordsC2W scheme.

I got mine from the Halfords near St Pauls in the City. I know the one in Croydon does them too.
