We are pleased to enable more choice of cycles and safety equipment for our staff.

We are also researching the possibility of increasing the Halfords lease limit to the same level by the end of March 2025.

With our two providers, Cycle Solutions and Halfords, until now staff have been able to lease bikes, including e-bikes and accessories up to the value of £3,000, with lease agreements of 12, 18 and 24 months to suit your needs, as follows:

Bike and equipment leasing options (Cycle Solutions and Halfords)

Cost: up to £2,000

• Lease length: 12 or 18 months
• Minimum contract (fixed term): 14 or 20 months. 

Cost: £2,001-£3,000

• Lease length: 12, 18 or 24 months
• Minimum contract (fixed term): 14, 20 or 26 months.

These choices are still available with both providers.  However, in addition, with effect from 14 December 2024 for Cycle Solutions:

Cost: £3,001 - £4,000

• Lease length: 24 months
• Minimum contract (fixed term): 26 months
