Cycling is mainly an aerobic activity, which means that your heart, blood vessels and lungs all get a workout. You will breathe deeper, perspire and experience increased body temperature, thereby improving your overall fitness level.
On top of the health benefits and the pleasure of being out on the bike, this scheme offers substantial savings on the cost of a bike and cycling equipment and requires no effort besides filling in the initial form. Your spending goes almost twice as far with this cycle scheme and that’s not even counting any savings on gym membership!
By subsidising the costs of bicycles and safety accessories, the Government is encouraging us all to cycle to work instead of drive our cars. Under the scheme, organisations buy bikes which employees can 'loan' from the organisation. The bike is paid for out of the employees' gross salary, which means each pound goes further as it's not been reduced by tax and NI.
Part of the green transport plan, Cycle to Work is a UK Government scheme in which virtually anyone in paid employment can take part.
Tarpon employees’ are able to reap the benefits of having this scheme as part of a tax saving or salary sacrifice. This works in line with the government guidelines and employees can rest assured that they are fully compliant.
Tarpon are dedicated to offering its employees all possible employee benefits i.e. Cycle to Work.
