Cycle 2 Work 2026
CYCLE2WORK 2026
It’s back!
The Cycle2Work scheme will be open from Monday 2nd November to Sunday 6th December 2026.
The scheme allows you to choose a bicycle and safety accessories and pay for them through salary sacrifice, taking advantage of the tax and National Insurance savings available.
What’s available?
• A spending limit of £3,000
• Choose to repay through your monthly salary over 12 or 24 months
• A wide choice of bicycles and safety accessories
• Hundreds of brands available from Halfords, Tredz and participating independent bike shops
The scheme is a great way to help you get active while spreading the cost of your new bike and equipment.
Important – Using your Cycle2Work bike
Please remember that the Cycle2Work scheme is not solely for personal use.
Department for Transport and HMRC guidance states that the cycle must be used primarily for journeys to and from work, which should account for around 50% of its use.
You can, of course, also enjoy your bike for leisure and personal journeys.
