If you would claim for mileage costs and fuel in a car, could you still claim for that money if you were doing the same route for the same purpose on a bike?
If being paid to cycle wasn't enough...

Because we get paid £1 each time we cycle to work which we sign in with security to get so they have a register of how many people ride and who does it most often.

We do get the 'Dr Bike' service, which is for staff and students. There's also the university's Velocampus, which are really good (fixedfixer on here is part of it, so I'd better put that 
).
Overall my work's doing some good stuff for cyclists. We have an underground bike cage, drying room, lockers plus shower rooms in my building.

It's not.
As the bike is leased you can't claim till paid off. Affected me the first year I had my fixed, never really saved any money on the scheme first year. Now claim about £140 a year and it covers tyres, chain etc.

I'm tempted to try discussing this with my local execs in the company I work for, a multinational called Thales. Being a large company, they should be able to support schemes like this

It would be nice just to get the company I work for to allow us to cycle up and down the drive leading into the factory, at the moment I have dismount and walk up the drive in the morning and walk out onto the road at night before I mount the bike, anything else would be a bonus.

My mob, who I on;y work for for 6 months, will pay for up to £525 per year for 'healthy lifestyle' costs such as gym membership, health club member ships, purchase of a bike etc, so I sharp soon asked whether I could but components/tools etc which I could as long as they were bicycle-specific, so I now have some nice new bike-specific tools in my garage and a pair of Pete matthews wheels adorning my bike. Next years is already earmarked for dynamo lighting

I get a £30 cycle allowance every 3 months from my employer. Goes towards replacement tyres, chain, brake blocks etc. Cheers!
Yes, you can claim 20p a mile if it's for a journey that you would have claimed car money for

Sky has (or at least had) a bike store on it's Osterley Campus. All staff were entitled to free cycle service (commuter or not), and you just had to pay for parts.

get it taken off your tax code instead using form P87/D - this has more benefits as it lowers your thresholds

I doubt it. I work for a green construction company and its a battle to get anything done at local level. even copying in UK head office doesn't get much response.I'm tempted to try discussing this with my local execs in the company I work for, a multinational called Thales.
