I used to catch the bus to daily. I thought often about cycling to work instead, but it sounded like very hard work. Then I heard about Cyclescheme, and that it covered not only standard bikes but also electrically assisted ones. I bought my Giant Lafree and can proudly say that I have not caught the bus even once since then. I'm getting the exercise, but it allows me to arrive looking vaguely human, rather than a sweaty, over-ripe tomato! On the scheme, it's even half the cost of the daily bus ride.

If you want to get your employer on board, the best thing to do is liaise with them directly. There's a section of the site dedicated to answering their questions, and they can register their interest and download resources. The scheme has to be run through your employer, and you're more likely to be able to persuade them than we are, so it's in your interests to hassle them about it!
If you have a general query, please look for answers on the site before contacting us. Our frequently asked questions should cover most queries on the general running of the scheme.
If you've got a question that isn't covered by the FAQs or the rest of the site, please contact us at otherqueries@cyclescheme.co.uk. Please allow a few days for us to get back to you, it gets pretty busy in the office!
