Cycling with a Car...

If you own a bike and want to cycle part of the way to work why not get a bike rack? You can buy one from only £50! Alternatively you could purchase a folding bike, which would fit in your boot or back seat. These are available from around £400. This will give you the freedom of parking out of town (so you save money) and cycling into work (so you save time) – just imagine – no traffic queues!! And you’ll also get a bit of exercise without having to give up your free time!

You can purchase bicycle racks and folding bike at most good bicycle shops. Click here to view a list of cycle shops in Northern Ireland

Government Cycle to Work Scheme
The recently introduced 'Cycle to Work Scheme' by the Department for Transport allows employees to purchase a new bicycle (of their choice) through their employer. The cycle should be used to get (fully or partially) to and from work and is tax exempt. This means that a brand new bicycle can be yours with savings of up to 50%! The scheme is open to ALL employers! To find out more visit the Department for Transport's website.
