Cycle to work, with Earnshaws Two Wheel Centre,
Save up to 39% on a new bike and cycling kit & keep fit — win, win.
Cycle to Work is a government scheme, aimed at making cycling more affordable and accessible for commuters and leisure riders. It's a simple three-step process, which will help you save up to 39% on a brand-new bike, cycling accessories or a combination of the two!
New Cycle scheme Legislation
This exciting new change in legislation has removed the £1000 limit for bikes under the Governments Cycle to Work initiative, so employers can now apply to have no limit on the value of certificates issued to employees! This new limit is available from today so your employer can start applying for a higher (or even unlimited) Cycle to Work limit straight away!
This new limit means that you can save EVEN more on your new bike, by paying for the whole bike via salary sacrifice (and not just the first £1000). This is a great initiative to get more people out on their bikes, and the changes in the upper limit mean that the potential savings are bigger than ever.
Electric bikes are a hugely popular commuting bike, reducing the effort on hills means that you can get to work quickly, and without breaking a sweat. The new increase on the upper limit for Cycle to Work now means that you can put the whole value of your new electric bike through the Cycle to Work scheme, saving you money on the bike, and on your commute!
How can you take advantage of this new upper limit?
If you want to benefit from this new higher limit, all you need to do is get in touch with your employer or HR department and ask them to apply for a higher limit through their chosen Cycle To Work provider. Then you can apply for a higher value certificate and save on your dream bike!
How does the scheme work?
Step 1; Choose your bike and/ or equipment
You can take advantage of Cycle to Work in any of our stores and online.
Simply browse our range of bikes, accessories and clothing and decide on a package that suits you. Your Cycle to Work allowance can be used against a bike, accessories, or a combination of the two. Accessories such as a cycle helmet and hi-vis clothing would be a sensible choice, while a pannier rack or basket will make taking your packed lunch to work a doddle.
An 11% surcharge (15% for Halfords certificates) is applicable on sale items purchased using the Cycle to Work scheme, this is a charge passed on from the Cycle to Work provider.
Step 2; Request Your Cycle to Work Certificate via your employer.
Once you've chosen your items, you need to check with your HR / Finance department whether your company is already enrolled on a Cycle to Work scheme. You can then request a certificate equal to the value of your order. We accept vouchers / certificates from the following Cycle to Work providers:
-
