Hi all,

My company have just launched a cycle to work scheme, and have signed up with 'cyclescheme'. Do any of you know if The Wiggle cycle scheme is one and the same? or an independently run scheme of their own? :?

Thanks.

    Wiggle run their own scheme and do not partner with any other cycle to work provider. Planet X are however CycleScheme partners.
  • I know ribble are on that 'cyclesheme'. I'm currently trying to peruade my employers to sign up to it!

    Cycle Scheme (find a shop) are effectively a middle man who do the majority of the paperwork on behalf of your employer, as such if you want to buy a bike not supplied by any of the retailers linked to above then you can always ask your employer if they would make an exception with you and do the paperwork, this Cycle to Work Scheme implementation guidance may help.

    Strictly speaking you do not have to use www.cyclescheme.co.uk just because that is who your employer uses for administration purposes, although they may take some pursuading of course.
