Cycle to work
Workplace Bikes can save you money on the retail cost of a new bike.
The lease scheme helps you:
- Save money on travelling costs
- Improve your health and fitness
- Reduce carbon emissions
- Protect and preserve the environment
Savings are through tax and national insurance, providing between 30% to 40% savings over the retail cost of a new bike. Halfords also provide a further 5% off the recommended retail price. Halfords can help source any bike up to a value of £1,500 through their own stores and an extensive network of independent bike stores.
To take part you must ensure that you meet certain conditions:
- You must be paying PAYE tax.
- Deductions made through salary sacrifice should not take your wage to below the national minimum wage.
- You must have a contract with Glasgow Life that does not end during the hire period. The hire period is 18 months.
- Registering is a legally binding agreement. You are agreeing to cycle for a minimum of 50% of your commute. Failure to do so could be breach of contract rendering deduction not eligible for tax and NI relief.
- During the lease period the cycle remains the property of Glasgow Life.
- It is the end users responsibility to ensure the cycle is covered via their insurance policy.
Typically an application will take 10 working days from point of electronically signing the online form.
