The bike voucher scheme is back open and has a functioning website this time!

Much as I’d like a free £50

It is not intended to cover upgrades to already roadworthy machines. We want to reach those people to whom the £50 voucher will make a real difference between repairing their bike and not doing so. A limited number of vouchers are available so please consider the needs of others before applying.

Not for viewers in Scotland, where an equivalent scheme is still running.

Much as I’d like a free £50

Very much this – it’s not intended to help us with our toys, it’s to help people who need to get a “normal” bike functioning for transport

Seems like there’s plenty of people here that could make good use of it without needing to feel guilty though.
