Cycle2Work from Halfords is a great employee benefit that offers the most cost-effective way to get new cycling equipment. The scheme is run via salary sacrifice, meaning you won’t pay tax or national insurance saving you at least 32% on a new bike and accessories. The cost is simply deducted out of your payslip over 12, so no need to worry about one-off costs.
