Through our Cycle to Work scheme, colleagues are able to save money on a brand new bike and equipment.
Here are some of the benefits of cycling:
Save money and time
On top of the savings, you’ll also save on all our other costs associated with commuting – rail fares, bus fares, fuel, and car parking – which soon add up, as well as delays and traffic.
Get fit and healthy
Cycling to work is incredible exercise. Turning your commute into your daily exercise routine will also mean you can spend less time in the gym and cancel your membership entirely to save even more money.
A greener planet
A bike is a carbon-neutral form of transport and by cycling to work, you’ll reduce your carbon footprint by around 600 kg of CO2 each year.
