Who is responsible for maintaining the bike and what happens if it is stolen?
It is the employee’s responsibility to maintain the bike. Cyclescheme Partner Shops will be able to advise about maintenance and servicing depending on how the bike is used and many shops offer a free first service. If the bike is stolen the employee will be liable for any outstanding monies without any tax exemptions, so it’s very important that employees insure the bikes. Safety equipment including Home Office-approved ‘Sold Secure’ D-locks and cable locks can be obtained as part of the scheme.
