Somebody once told me that it's not very rigorously policed and some bike shops were colluding with customers to misuse the scheme. I have no evidence of this and it was a long time ago. It may not be true.

It's a "cycle to work" scheme. It would be interesting to see data on how many of the bikes purchased are regularly used for this purpose. I'm all for people cycling but I do wonder if this is the most effective way of delivering it?

It is widely misused though. And if it's still a salary sacrifice scheme it's not available to those on the minimum wage. Has it changed maybe?
