I did it in Sept last year, I wouldn't do it again, better deals to be had paying cash IMO. I got a£700 voucher and I'll end up paying about £650 with the final fee of 22% which my employer adds >< | |

Colin, my work scheme was with halfords but they also allow you to go to other "approved" outlets to get your bike. I got mine from Giant direct. | |

You save 32% if you're in the lower tax band or 42% if in the higher on your tax and ni. | |

Any info on the government scheme?? My work only issues halfords vouchers. Was considering a fs boardman but missed the April deadline they have. | |

Some larger employers may do their own scheme but there is an official government scheme. IIRC you get the bike and accessories tax free, and you pay for it at source e.g another 'tax'/deduction on your pay packet. The main benefit is that everything is less 20% VAT immediately. | |

Ours is 12 months. Then sometimes there's a final payment at the end, or you pay a tiny fee to 'lease' it for another couple of years. Basically means its yours anyway so I chose that option. | |

My work runs a cycle to work scheme, I was going to do it last year however found its limited to April only to register then the bike has to be purchased from halfords and paid up over 12 months. There's better deals to be had, January sales, discounted last season stock etc then stick it on a 12 month interest free card if needs dictate. | |

I was about to buy a new bike to use for going to work and back. Guy at work mentioned this to me, which I hadn't really heard of. |
