Business and Community training
The community's solution for school, work
and/or leisure purposes
 If your organisation has already taken the progressive decision to
invest in a bike pool, maximising their potential by offering you
this opportunity,
(especially for first timers or those returning to cycling after a
long absence) and accessing adult cycle training (Bikeability is no longer
just for the children, it's designed for anyone these days) so you could also take
advantage and ...
!!
get yourself a tax free bike
!!
Cyclescheme
is working with a network of independent bike shops (including
Clive Mitchell Cycles
in Truro who already participate in the scheme) to
supply the nation with quality tax free bikes and equipment for
work. They have a wealth of experience organising no-hassle tax
free bikes for employees. Hundreds of companies of all sizes
have already benefited from the easy-to-follow system!

!! With every new bike purchased
through the scheme from CMC, I am happy to come along and give a
FREE consultation
of up to an hour which includes assessing your cycling skills
should you so wish it !!
What would you like to
do?
a. Gain confidence
to bike to work, school or college?
b. Improve your on
road and/or off road technique?
c. Get fitter and
faster to take on a charity ride?
d. Learn to look
after your bike?
e. All of the above perhaps?
Five good reasons to cycle
1. Cycling exercises most of the muscles in your legs and bum –
so it’s an excellent way to tone these areas.
2. It’s a practical way to keep fit. 75% all personal journeys are
less than 5 miles long – that’s half an hour on a bike.
3. It’s cheaper than joining a gym! Bicycles require no MOT, no
insurance, no licensing and above all no fuel. Bicycles can be
parked almost anywhere for free.
4. Switching short journeys from car to bicycle will benefit both
your health and community. You'll be helping to reduce noise, air
pollution and traffic congestion too.
5. Riding a bike can help you maintain a healthy weight. Average
cycling burns about 300 calories per hour and gives a level of
fitness equivalent to being 10 years younger.
In short, cycling is:
- Healthier
- More efficient
- Eco friendly
- Economic
It also increases the travel
options for your company/students with regard to
commuting to and
from work and/or college and incorporating cycling for local
journeys which will also:
- Reduce Stress
- Improve Performance
- Increase Fitness
- Save time and money
!! Several good reasons to save
both time and money !!
When combined with other
measures such as car sharing and greater public transport usage,
cycling is an ideal component of your company and community travel
plan. More employees/students cycling to work/college has the
potential to increase land use for your premises as the need for car
parking is reduced. RSCT aims to provide appropriate programmes designed to boost confidence and
encourage safer cycling.
