Cycle to Work Scheme

Can I use my cycle to work scheme Voucher to purchase a new bike? What will it cost and what do I do next ?

The answer is yes , please look at the providers listed below that we work with .

The Cycle to Work scheme was introduced by the government to promote healthier journeys to work and to reduce environmental pollution. 
It allows you to get cycles and accessories through your employer. You then pay a monthly salary sacrifice to effectively hire the bike and accessories over a 12 month period. The benefits are:

    Save between 28-47% on the recommended retail price of bicycles and accessories

    Interest-free payments automatically deducted from your salary, spread over 12 months, use an online calculator to advise you of monthly costs.

How it works...

1

Firstly decide on what you want, then get a quote from us , we can talk through the process.

2

Present the agreed invoice to your scheme provider who will process the voucher.

3

We would require £100 deposit to start the build process, this can be refunded once the voucher has been redeemed and money has been received.

4

You will then receive a redemption code from your scheme provider that you present to us.

5

Sign your hire agreement with your scheme provider.

6

Take delivery or collect your new bike.

All providers charge an administration fee that we do not absorb. So the voucher value will need to include this.

Currently Thorn can accept vouchers from five Cycle to Work scheme providers:
