Cycle to Work scheme

This scheme allows employees to borrow or hire a bicycle from their employer.  Typically, it uses salary sacrifice to make monthly payments from your pre-tax/National Insurance pay.

Employers can operate their own scheme, or they can use one of a number of scheme operators to do the hard part for them.

To find out more and to see if your employer operates the scheme, please visit gov.uk.
