Cycle to Work: Better for your people, better for the planet

A greener way to get to work

Encouraging your people to commute by bike helps cut down carbon emissions, both theirs and yours as a company, since their journeys are part of your overall footprint. This helps move us all closer to the UK’s goal of reaching net-zero by 2050.

If your organisation has ESG goals or sustainability reporting, getting more of your team in the saddle is an easy way to turn those goals into action. It’s a simple win for corporate responsibility that doesn’t require a big budget.

A little movement goes a long way

Cycling to work is a great way to look after your physical health. It helps you maintain a healthy weight, build muscle strength, lower cholesterol, and reduce the risk of heart disease – all without putting too much strain on your joints.

It's also one of the more accessible ways to get moving; you can ease into it and go at your own pace, which makes it a great option for beginners.

Make cycling your mental health hack

Travelling by bike can turn your commute from a stressful slog into something peaceful and refreshing. Imagine feeling the sun on your skin, the wind in your hair, and birdsong in your ears – instead of sitting in traffic, squeezing into a crowded train, or fighting for a bus seat.

Starting your day with a bike ride tends to set you up with a clear, calm headspace, while biking home could help you switch off from work and ease into your own time. It also helps you build a healthy routine, making it easy to weave regular exercise into your daily life.

Unlock the benefits of biking for your team

A Cycle to Work scheme makes active commuting more accessible for everyone. There’s a wide range of bikes to suit different needs, like e-bikes for longer, hillier commutes, cargo bikes for carrying kids or kit, and fold-up bikes for journeys that mix cycling with other modes of transport.

As well as being accessible, the scheme also supports safer commuting. It covers essential safety gear like helmets, lights, pads and high-vis clothing, helping your people feel more confident and visible on the road.

Now let’s talk savings. Employees can save up to 42%* on bikes and accessories, spreading the cost through monthly salary payments. With no credit checks, it’s a flexible way for more people to access quality, big-brand bikes.

Plus, both you and your team save on National Insurance, which is a handy bonus after the recent rise in employer rates.

And when you add it all up, those everyday savings can make a real difference. Spending less on petrol, parking, or train fare means your people can hold onto more of their pay – whether that goes towards rising bills or something special they’ve been planning.

It’s a simple way to help their wallets and their wellbeing, all at once.
