how much do you get off? Does it vary? I had a look into it and it looked like around 32% but since been told different. If anyone's done it can you give me some advice pls. Cheers

Yes mate...I got a Trek 420 fx 3yrs ago...Cost in the shop £475...
Cost through scheme was 23 per month over 12 months..costing 276....
The final payment is almost usually one extra payment.
Since I did it I believe the rules have changed slightly as regards how much you can save.
Oh you have to use it so many times per yr..but you never do and they never check.

I've been thinking about starting to cycle to work. How would I go about doing this? Are all employers obliged?

not obliged to do it. I'd stick a link on for you but I'm on my phone at work and they never work but you can Google cycle to work scheme and swat up about it. Doubt mine will agree Tbh but no harm in asking is thereNever Mind The Pollocks said:I've been thinking about starting to cycle to work. How would I go about doing this? Are all employers obliged?

I dont know why your employer wouldnt arrange it for you...its of no cost to them. I think.
