Government backs initiative to encourage cycling to work

The government is keen to promote a cycling workforce

businesscycle  is a resource that employers can access to encourage more of their staff to ride bikes to the workplace. There will be various benefits on offer such as discounts on cycle parking, as well as advice and information on best practice. Membership is free for any organisations that wish to participate.

The good news for employees is that it seems as though the government's Cycle to Work scheme, which gives access to bikes and equipment at a discounted price, is not in danger of being scrapped - for the foreseeable future at least.
