Hey,
I applied for the cycle scheme online a few weeks ago and wondered for those of you that may have used the scheme, how long does ti take to get the vouchers??? I am finding it hard to contain my excitement at the prospect of shiney new bike!!! :D

    It took about 3 weeks:

    Filled in online form, my employer sent me forms, forms sent back to employer, they send them to cyclescheme, they send voucher to employer, employer sent voucher to me (then cyclscheme cancelled it - but that's another story).

    I did find Cyclescheme people quite helpful when I called / emailed them.

    ahh.. so it might be my employers being a bit slow then as they are yet to send me any forms!! Might chase them up first then, I had figured it was the scheme that took a while but perhaps not!
    Cheers

    Yes, I chased progress with my employers, and they didn't really hang around, so I reckon 2 weeks would be the minimum to complete all those steps, but of course nothing can progress until you have signed the forms.
