Cycle to work in Glasgow

Your cycle to work voucher, welcome here.

Cycle to work schemes let you get a bike and kit through your employer and pay for it from your salary before tax, spread over the hire period. We accept four schemes at our Gibson Street shop.

  • Cyclescheme
  • Bike2Work
  • Cycle Solutions
  • Green Commute Initiative
  • Cycle2Work (not accepted)

How it works at Gear

Four steps to your new bike

  1. Check your employer's scheme

    Ask HR which scheme they use (Cyclescheme, Bike2Work, Cycle Solutions or Green Commute Initiative) and whether they set a spending limit.

  2. Choose your bike in the shop

    Come in to Gibson Street, try bikes for size and pick your bike and kit. We'll give you a quote to put through your scheme.

  3. Apply through your scheme

    Your employer approves it, and the scheme sends you a certificate, voucher or collection letter.

  4. Collect from Gear

    Bring it in and ride away. Payments come out of your salary before tax over the hire period.

To confirm with Gear Bikes: Check the in-shop steps: do you issue quotes for the schemes, and how long from approval to collection?

The schemes we accept

What each scheme says

In each scheme's own words, from its website. Checked 12 October 2026. Savings depend on your tax band, and your employer may set its own spending limit.

Cyclescheme

  • "Save up to 47% on a new bike for work."
  • "Cyclescheme is no longer limited to £1,000." Your employer may set its own limit.
  • Your employer approves your application and you get a Certificate, which "you can exchange … for your gear in-store or online".

Cycle2Work

We don't accept Cycle2Work vouchers at present. If your employer uses it, ask them whether another scheme is available.

To confirm with Gear Bikes: Your current Green Commute Initiative page says "no £1,000 spending cap" and "up to 47%". GCI's own site now says "28–47%", so we've used that. Re-check all scheme figures at launch.

To confirm with Gear Bikes: Can people buy e-bikes through the schemes at Gear (GCI allows 250W EAPCs)?
