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:
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.

We're very pleased to announce that we are dealers for the new Hope HB916!
The new HB916 is a UK made, high pivot, 160 mm travel enduro bike designed to run a 170 mm fork. Hope have brought manufacturing in house, giving them complete control over the manufacturing process. Most of the frame is made from Carbon Fibre, with a few aluminium parts where it makes sense. Bearings are mounted into the alloy to ensure a long-lasting frame.
- Internal cable routing, rubber frame protection and "Butty Box" in frame storage and bottle cage mounts.
- Frame kit includes shock, headset and bottom bracket.
- Lifetime warranty for the original owner (subject to conditions).
- Lifetime frame bearing warranty - bearings must be fitted by Hope or a registered Hope dealer.
- SRAM XX1 AXS Mech and Shifter
Photos show Öhlins TTX Coil/X01 complete bike in plain Carbon. We'll add images of the other options as they are available. To see the other frame colours, have a look at the HB916 frame here.
