New partnership makes it even easier to cycle to work

Commuting by bike

With the weather improving, the clocks changing and an exciting summer of cycling just around the corner, there’s never been a better time to ride your bike to work. And now Cyclescheme and British Cycling have joined forces to make it even easier to take to the saddle.

Utilising the combined knowledge and expertise of both the UK’s leading provider of the Cycle to Work scheme and the National Governing Body for cycling, the two organisations will promote cycling and its benefits, increase cycling knowledge and awareness and encourage commuters to choose a bicycle as their method of transport this year.

Ian Drake, Chief Executive of British Cycling, said: 'We’re working hard to encourage more people to ride to work, both through our road safety campaigning and by providing a raft of expert tips and advice to commuters from ensuring they have the right kit, to having the necessary skills to ride safety in the rush hour. We’re delighted to now be working with Cyclescheme who share our passion for increasing the number of cyclists across the country, and together we look forward to helping more people make the move from the car or train onto the bike.'
