How do I get a bike?
-
1 Is your employer signed up?
To get a bike through Cyclescheme, your employer needs to be signed up to the scheme. If your employer is not signed up, or you are not sure, speak to your manager or HR department, and direct them to this site.

2 Choose a bike shop and drop in
Choose which bike shop you would like to get your bike from, and pay them a visit. They will take the time to talk about what sort of bike and equipment is best for you, and provide you with a written quote for these items.

3 Request your secure certificate online
Go to your employer's special Cyclescheme web address to request your certificate and digitally sign your salary sacrifice agreement If you are not sure what this is, ask your manager or Cyclescheme administrator.
We will ask your employer to confirm your eligibility and approve your request, and then send them an invoice for the bike package. As soon as the invoice is paid, we will send you your printed certificate, which you can then take to your chosen bike shop to exchange for a bike and equipment.
Remember that you can track your request at any time by clicking on My Cyclescheme.

4 Take your certificate to your bike shop
There you can exchange it for your chosen bike and equipment. You might want to call them first to check these are currently in stock. You will also need to take photographic ID with you, such as your passport or driving license. This helps us to ensure the equipment reaches you safely.

5 How does payment work?
Your Salary Sacrifice deductions will commence and are deducted from your Gross salary. The Salary Sacrifice is taken from your Gross Salary and you make your savings in your Net salary by not paying Income Tax, PRSI and USC on the cost of the bike package over the agreed Salary Sacrifice period.
