Government launches cycle to work guarantee

On 28 October 2009 the Department for Transport (DfT) launched its new cycle to work guarantee.

The scheme encourages employers to sign up to the cycle to work guarantee and commit to making it easier for their staff to cycle to and from work by providing:

Secure, safe, and accessible bike parking
Good quality changing and locker facilities
Offset the cost of cycling equipment and save on the tax through the ‘cycle to work scheme’
Bike repair for cyclists on or near site
Training, reward and incentive programmes to achieve targets for more cycling

Shropshire Council has signed up to the cycle to work guarantee. You can find out if your employer has signed up by looking at the list on the cycle to work guarantee website. Why not encourage your employer to sign up?
