Cycle to work scheme

[jowwy]

Please could those who use cycle to work scheme answer this question

if i take the £1000 limit - am i able to buy two bikes or only one?

 

[cloggsy]

Yes, you can have two bikes, as long as the value doesn't exceed the £1k.

 

[fossyant]

What you and the bike shop do, is upto you !

so if i can get specialized in the cycle to work scheme i could have a secteur and a crosstrail and pay the extra £75 myself???

 

[Flying Dodo]

You could, although bear in mind that for any bike bought under the scheme, the majority of trips are expected to be to and from your place of work.

Employers (especially large ones) probably won't let you pay a top-up though, in view of the complications brought about as a result of joint ownership.

I believe you can purchase 2. The example I was given was Bike 1 for 'home - > Tube station A' and then Bike 2 for 'Tube station B -> Office'.
The joint ownership at my place is a no-no though, t'is a big firm.

I'm waiting on my vouchers now, the bike is being built and the extras fitted on Jan 4th. Not long to wait now!

I believe most places dont offer top ups on what I've read but defo yes to 2 bikes, my example was winter use and summer use

Maybe i'll just spend the full 1k on a cube cross race instead and keep my felt hybrid as the N+1

N = current bikes owned. N+1 is ideal
