Businesses constantly look for innovative ways to enhance employee well-being, reduce their carbon footprint, and boost productivity. Ribble Valley E-Bikes offers a solution that meets all these objectives.

Located in the heart of Lancashire, Ribble Valley E-Bikes is providing local businesses an exciting opportunity to participate in the government-backed Cycle-to-Work initiative.

This scheme encourages healthier commuting habits while offering significant savings on top-quality e-bikes.

This initiative benefits employees and offers a competitive edge to businesses looking to promote sustainability and improve staff morale.

What is the Cycle-to-Work Scheme?

The Cycle-to-Work Scheme is a government initiative encouraging employees to cycle to work by providing a tax-efficient way to purchase bicycles and accessories.

Through the scheme, employees can purchase e-bikes and cycling gear through their employer, who then arrange to deduct the cost from the employee’s salary before tax.

This means employees can save up to 40% on the cost of a new bike and accessories, depending on their tax bracket.

The Cycle-to-Work scheme is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to support employee well-being, reduce their carbon footprint, and promote a healthier lifestyle.

By encouraging staff to cycle to work, businesses can also benefit from increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and a more motivated workforce.

Additionally, the scheme helps businesses achieve sustainability goals and demonstrate their commitment to reducing environmental impact.

How the Cycle-to-Work Scheme Benefits Lancashire Businesses

For businesses in Lancashire, joining the Cycle-to-Work Scheme through Ribble Valley E-Bikes offers numerous advantages. Here’s how businesses can benefit:

  • Improved Employee Health and Well-being

Encouraging employees to cycle to work can significantly improve their physical and mental health. Regular cycling can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. It also boosts mental health by reducing stress and improving mood, which can lead to a more productive and engaged workforce.

  • Reduced Absenteeism and Increased Productivity

Employees who cycle to work will likely take fewer sick days and experience better overall health. Cycling boosts energy levels, enhances focus, and improves cognitive function, all of which contribute to greater productivity in the workplace. This can be particularly beneficial for businesses looking to improve staff morale and reduce absenteeism.

  • Cost Savings for Employees

The Cycle-to-Work Scheme allows employees to purchase an e-bike and accessories at a significantly reduced price, offering up to 40% savings. The cost is spread over monthly salary deductions, making it affordable for staff members and reducing their commuting expenses. This is a great way for businesses to provide employees with an attractive benefit without significant upfront costs.

  • Environmental Benefits

Businesses can reduce their carbon footprint by encouraging employees to cycle to work. Cycling is a zero-emission mode of transport, making it one of the most sustainable commuting options available. Businesses that promote cycling are seen as environmentally responsible, which can enhance their reputation and attract eco-conscious customers and employees.

  • Sustainability Goals

Businesses embracing sustainable practices are increasingly recognised for their commitment to reducing environmental impact. The Cycle-to-Work Scheme provides businesses with an easy way to align with their sustainability goals. It demonstrates that they are actively supporting eco-friendly transport solutions, which can positively impact their corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy.
