For a while now we've been supplying bikes to people through the Government's "Cycle To Work" scheme where you can buy a bike in installments, ahead of tax deductions and NIC, through your work. When combined with your work claiming the VAT back on the initial purchase of the bike, this saves you a massive amount of money plus you get to pay in bite-size monthly installments.
If your company is looking to sign up to this, they can do it themselves or they will get a 3rd party to facilitate it. If your HR or accounts people want information on running the scheme directly, below is a link to the CycleScheme website and the DfT guidance notes. If they are going to a 3rd party, try pushing them in the direction of Cyclescheme to facilitate it and you could be in line to get a massive saving off a brand new Cotic ROADRAT or >X<.
All of our Cotic dealers are registered with Cyclescheme, and it couldn't be simpler. You order by informing Cyclescheme of the bike you want, then they give you a voucher for the amount the bike costs. You give that voucher to your Cotic dealer, they give you a lovely Cotic ROADRAT or >X<. Bish, bosh, lovely job! If your company is doing it for themselves, contact Cotic direct on sales@cotic.co.uk
So, if you're looking to avoid that morning traffic and zip to work in style, then get yourself a ROADRAT bike on order.
For dealing direct with Cotic, get your HR or Finance guys to contact sales@cotic.co.uk
