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.

Pinkbike's “Value Bike Of The Year” Winner!
The Alpine Trail range and in particular, the frame kits, have always been incredible value for money, but this is a step up with arguably the best shock on the market, loads of features, and all for under £1700.
Go for this frame only option, build a dream bike for less cash than a mid range bike, or do a min-max style build and roll out on an amazing VFM bike. This frame kit is also am amazing option if you've been upgrading your old bike for years and want to upgrade to a frame with all the most up to date features.
The frame kit includes a Vivid Air Ultimate D1 shock, arguably the best enduro shock on the market, the same shock you'll see on with world cup down hill bikes. This is the second generation of the new Vivid Air shock, with a LinearXL air spring.
You can make the slack 63 degree head angle even slacker, or steepen it up to help with climbing, by simply changing the inserts in the headset cups. Chainstay length is adjustable by switching the flip chips round - all you need is a 6mm allen key to go from 442-435 mm. Finally, there is room to run a 29" rear wheel if mullets aren't your thing.
- Adjustable head tube angle. Swappable cups can increase or decrease the head angle by 0.75° either way.
- Chain stay flip chip adjusts BB height and chainstay length.
- Internal Bear Box storage with bag.
- Durable moulded rubber chainstay and seat stay protection.
- Integrated downtube protection.
- Lower suspension linkage mudflap protects main frame bearings.
- Internal cable routing with rubber seals to keep dirt out.
