Cycle training and cycling to work
There are schemes available to learn to ride and to improve your skills and confidence.
Training for children, young people and adults
If it's learning how to cycle, maintaining or training for events, there are plenty of programmes to suit all ages.
Cycle to work scheme
The cycle to work scheme encourages employees to cycle to work and allows employers to reap the benefits of a healthier workforce. The government introduced a tax exemption that allows employers to loan cycles and cyclists' safety equipment to employees as a tax-free benefit. This promotes healthier journeys to work and to reduce environmental pollution.
