No. We can certainly help oversee your company’s Cycle to Work Scheme, but we offer a much more overarching corporate cycling package. Let us explain:

The Cycle to Work Scheme is a government tax break, allowing employees to lease bikes from their employer through a salary sacrifice programme and eventually purchase the bicycle at a tax-free rate.

That’s all great, but how does a company engage their staff once the scheme is set up? And more importantly, how do they capture the return on this investment?

Step in PleaseCycle. We provide a 360° corporate cycle solution; from engaging content for first-time cyclists through to journey tracking and rewards for the avid user. It also highlights the overall mileage riden by employees and resultant carbon saved – an incredibly powerful CST tool.
