Chesterfield Cycle Campaign

Derbyshire Police have signed up to the Government's Cycle to Work scheme through Halfords' Cycle2Work fully managed service.  By buying bicycles through their employer, cycle commuters can benefit from an average of 40% reduction off RRP.  The scheme initially ran for one month from April 2009 and was so successful that they plan to run it again in May 2010.

Over 120 bikes were purchased with an average value of £560 each, with the Boardman racer/hybrid proving to be very popular.  However, any manufacturer can be purchased in the scheme and Halfords will price-match any store discounted price within a 20 mile radius and also give free 10% extra vouchers for accessories.  Derbyshire Police would recommend any employees to persuade their employer to adopt the scheme as it has a zero cost to the employer, and adds benefits for all their employees.

Halfords is just one of many companies that provide this managed service.  For more information about the Cycle to Work scheme, see Chesterfield Cycle Campaign's fact sheet.
