In May of 2022, our leading cycle to work solution, Cyclescheme, reached the fantastic milestone of one million cycle to work certificate requests.   

This standout occasion celebrates millions of cycling journeys made through the scheme and the positive environmental impacts and support for bike retailers across the country.  

The cycle to work scheme itself has existed since 1999.  From there it has grown in popularity and in 2005 Cyclescheme became the first cycle to work provider.  

Our Cyclescheme solution, part of Blackhawk Network Extras, has made the cycle to work scheme accessible by offering an end-to-end service for employers.  

Neil McGuigan, Sr. Manager, Product Implementation at Cyclescheme, said, “This is a momentous milestone for Blackhawk Network. We are proud that our Cyclescheme benefit has opened the world of cycling to so many employees and boosted trade for industry retailers. We’ve generated £750 million for the cycle industry since our inception, and we look forward to fulfilling the next million Cycle to Work scheme certificates and continuing our journey in creating more cyclists.” 

Today we have over 50,000 employers and 2,000 retailers, and across the full history of Cyclescheme there have been over 4,000 retailers, demonstrating the nationwide reach of our offering.  

Cyclescheme is the largest cycle to work provider and owes its thriving position in the market due to its overwhelmingly happy customers, 92% of which would recommend the scheme to others.
