Raleigh supports cycle to work to create fitter staff and reduce absenteeism

A major campaign urging employers to increase productivity and reduce absenteeism by using tax breaks to encourage their staff to cycle to work has been launched by Raleigh UK.

All businesses can sign up to Cyclelife c2w, which through tax breaks can give employees the  opportunity to obtain a bike and safety equipment such as helmets, lights and reflective clothing, and save up to 50 per cent of the normal retail price. 

By encouraging staff to cycle to work, employers are likely to benefit from:

  • Fitter employees, who are more productive
  • Healthier employees, who are less likely to take time off sick
  • Improved time keeping as cycling is a reliable and quick means of transport
  • An improved environment as cycling reduces congestion, traffic pollution and noise

Employees would ordinarily have to pay income tax on something lent to them for private use by their employer. With Cyclelife c2w, employers can provide bikes to their staff as a tax-free benefit provided the bikes are used to travel to and from work for some of the time.

Cyclelife c2w aims to support independent bicycle dealers in approaching their local employers - of whatever size - to participate in the scheme by keeping administration simple and effective, and ensuring the scheme is cost neutral to the dealer.

This is a superb new initiative from Raleigh UK where everyone wins - employees make big savings on new bikes and employers get a healthier workforce, tick the green box and save money too!
