In an effort to go n+1 as cheaply as possible I am trying to convince HR to get the company on a C2W scheme.

I don’t know much about them, so which ones are worth looking at, any to avoid etc?

Our place uses Vivup. No problems from an end user perspective when I got a bike earlier this year. No idea what they’re like from the organisations or the LBS end.

I set up my own for a previous employer. It was really very easy! Do a bit of research first before going in to HR and Accounts. IIRC correctly the Consumer Credit License for purchases below £1000 can be downloaded off some Government website or other.

Got some good discounts of the LBS too as they were saving on admin payments. Once the scheme was set up the purchasing dept placed the order on a company credit card.

Green commute initiative look quite good. No experience of using them but they seem quite flexible in terms of what you can spend. (Over £1k)
