WorkRiders

Cycling to Work is a UK Government tax incentive programme targeted at encouraging employees to keep fit, help the environment and save money in the process.

The programme allows employees to benefit from the long term loan of a bicycle and commuting equipment such as lights, locks and panniers, tax free.

Employers can loan bicycles to their staff as a tax-free benefit on the condition that the bicycles are mainly used to get to and from work or for work-related purposes.
