The Cycle to Work scheme is designed to help you save money on a new bike while improving your health and reducing your environmental impact.
A Social Enterprise
This scheme is run by a social enterprise, meaning its focus isn’t profit. Any revenue generated is reinvested into encouraging more people to cycle to work. The aim is simple: get more commuters out of cars and onto bikes, improving individual wellbeing while reducing congestion and pollution.
Environmental Benefits
Reducing unnecessary car journeys plays a key role in improving air quality. Lowering harmful emissions such as nitrogen dioxide and diesel particulates helps create a healthier environment for everyone.
E-bikes in particular provide a practical alternative for a wider range of riders, making commuting by bike more accessible. Every journey made by bike instead of car contributes to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Health Benefits
Cycling to work can have a significant impact on both physical and mental wellbeing. It’s an easy way to build exercise into your daily routine and can help improve long-term health.
Studies have shown that regular activity can help manage and even reverse certain conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes. People who cycle regularly can enjoy more active years compared to those who don’t.
E-bikes make cycling even more accessible, offering support when needed and helping more people benefit from regular activity.
