Staff have the opportunity to join a Cycle to Work Scheme run by Cyclescheme and take advantage of tax savings on the purchase of a bike, while keeping fit and contributing to a greener economy.
You can buy your bike from any of the 2,000 independent cycle shops, including Wiggle and numerous stores across Southampton, including Decathlon, Cycleworld and Hargroves.
Things you might not know about the Cycle to Work Scheme:
1. Your Cyclescheme application can include safety equipment and accessories without the need to include a bike in your request. To submit a safety equipment-only request, please follow the guide here.
2. You can take out a hire agreement to obtain a new bike or safety equipment only, when your existing hire agreement ends.
3. If you have any maintenance issues, the University runs a Bike Doctor service every fortnight, on the red brick area in front of the Students’ Union Shop. Please check the Transport website or bike shed notices for details.
To find out if you are eligible to take part in the scheme please visit the HR website or contact the Reward team.
