The first step is to get your employer to register on the website at www.cycle scheme.co.uk Once that's done, you can buy your bike through the scheme and get it tax free.
A quick bit of number crunching by the Avenger using the on-site calculator showed that savings can be substantial.
Let's say that the bike costs £350, the helmet £40 and there's another £40 worth of accessories. By buying through the scheme, you should save about £173.
Cyclescheme works in partnership with cycle shops in Exeter and the surrounding area, so it's simple enough to choose your new wheels and all the extra bits you fancy as well.
