The benefits of cycling to work

Over two-thirds of workers in the UK have started or are considering cycling to work to navigate the cost-of-living crisis. Introducing a cycle to work salary sacrifice scheme could make it financially easier for all of your employees to take to the saddle.

               

Fuel and travel cost savings

Cycling to work combats rising fuel prices and commuting costs. Our research found that those who cycle to work save almost £750 each year. This figure rises to £1,400 for workers in Greater London.   

Healthier workforce

Cycling is a great way for employees to boost their physical and mental wellbeing. Just 60 minutes of cycling a week halves the risk of heart disease. What’s more, fewer sick days are taken by employees that cycle to work, saving businesses money.

Environmentally friendly

Employees who cycle as their daily commute, instead of driving or using public transport, typically have a reduced carbon footprint. That's because the emission from a car is 13 times more than a bike's.
