Cycle-to-Work Scheme
“Look out for a brand new bike in your pay packet”
Montague UK are now part of the Government backed Cycle-to-Work Scheme enabling employees to get the bike they want (plus accessories) at a substantially reduced price.
Using a bike is easy, cheap, green, independent, quiet, fast, convenient, door-to-door, healthy, and fun. Cycling to work ticks many, many boxes and the Government wants to encourage more people to cycle to work. That's why it created the Cycle to Work scheme for buying bikes at up to 50 per cent off the retail price.
There is much information available online on this subject, so we have purposely not gone into great detail here. However, in principle, you can get a brand new bike for almost half the normal retail price if your employer signs up to the scheme and makes it available to its employees.
We have a downloadable PDF document here that explains how the scheme works through Cyclescheme, our linked facilitator.
We have also included for download the official PDF Employer and Employee leaflets from Cycling England, a government-backed organisation that promotes cycling in all forms (www.cyclingengland.co.uk). These can be printed out for use in your workplace.
