Sale price bikes bought though Cycle To Work schemes will have a handling fee added.
This information is intended as a guide only.
Cycle To Work is a Government Initiative to encourage cycling to work. The idea is that by cycling to work, you get fitter and healthier, and at the same time reduce congestion and improve air quality.
In simplest terms, your employer pays for the bike, and you hire it from them through salary deductions. At the end of the hire period, the employer can sell you the bike. (Until the bike is paid for, you hire it from your employer, so don't get fired).
Your employer might administer the scheme themselves, or use a third party like one of the following:
GoGeta
Vivup
Green Commute Initiative
Cycle Solutions
My Benefits World
Cyclescheme
If your employer doesn't offer Cycle To Work as a benefit, you can send them this employer information from the Government that outlines how it all works.

The Fuel EX 9.8 XT is a versatile and adaptable carbon MTB built to tackle any trail, at any time. Its OCLV Mountain Carbon frame pairs with a Fox Factory suspension package (145 mm rear, 150 mm front) to deliver traction and stability in the rough. A mechanical Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain gives you clean, reliable shifting and 4-piston XT M8200 brakes provide excellent modulation and stop-on-a-penny power.
Size Small Wheel Size: Small size runs mixed wheel sizes - specs are exactly the same, just with a 27.5 rear wheel.
Adjustable leverage rate: Want more bottom-out resistance without giving up small-bump sensitivity? Flip the chip in the lower shock mount for a more progressive leverage rate.
Zero stack integrated headset: With a ZS standard headset, you've got loads of options for aftermarket upgrades, including angle adjust or anodised colours.
Storage and accessory mounts: Stash ride essentials with in-frame storage on all Fuel models – both carbon and alloy. Plus, top tube accessory mounts let you load up even more.
Fresh frame design: The Fuel's new frame gives you loads of room for long dropper posts, bigger shocks, frame bags and more.
Active Braking Pivot: Active Braking Pivot allows our engineers to tune how the suspension reacts to acceleration and braking forces independently. That means you get more confident control when you need it most.
