Cycle to work

Ways to get yourself cycling to work.

Salary sacrifice schemes

If you want to switch from four wheels to two then the Cycle2work scheme can help. The scheme works with businesses to help you buy a brand new bike and the equipment without the upfront cost. Ask your employer if they're part of the scheme.

Borrow a Bike scheme

If you live or work in Shildon, and want to cycle to work, we could offer you a free bike with our Borrow a Bike scheme.
