97色网鈥檚 Cycle to Work scheme is back and running between 09
February 2015 and 27 February 2015.
Cycle to Work is a Tax and National Insurance free scheme to help promote
healthier journeys to work and reduce pollution and congestion.
By taking part in the scheme employees can save an average of up to 25 per cent
off the cost of a bike in tax and NI contributions, depending on a person鈥檚
income tax band.
The Council aims to show the benefits of a Cycle to Work scheme and encourage
other employers to offer their employees alternative transport choices and
promote cycling as a part of a daily active and healthy lifestyle. Employers of
all sizes across the public, private and voluntary sectors can implement a tax
exempt loan scheme for their employees.

marketing services agency that specialises in performance improvement, launched
its first opportunity to take part in the scheme in August 2009. Since the
launch of the scheme approximately 340 employees have participated in the
scheme.
Councillor Bernie Attridge, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Environment

鈥淭he Cycle to Work scheme has great benefits from improving health to helping
the environment. The Council has been part of it for over four years and would

scheme to all employers in the County.鈥�
