why choose halfords
Experience
Halfords are the original pioneers of the scheme, which means employers will benefit directly from our years of expertise and in-depth understanding of the scheme.
Reputation
Choosing Halfords as your provider makes perfect business sense. We're not only a highly trusted national company but as the UK's leading cycling retailer we will always be at the forefront of market and cycle2work development.
Compliance
The Halfords cycle2work scheme focuses on the true nature of the legislation and is the UK's most compliant scheme encouraging cycling as a way of getting to work. We ensure that our messaging, and the promotional and marketing materials we provide, all support this message. All of our documentation is regularly audited and reviewed by external legal bodies to ensure it remains fully compliant.
Free
The Halfords scheme is 100% cost-free. There are no hidden administrative charges or fees for our service – we run our scheme to help support the Government's Green Travel Plan and to sell more bikes!
Added benefits for employees...
Halfords offers employees great extra benefits when joining up to cycle2work that simply can't be beaten by other schemes:

- Free Bike Route Maps
- £1 trial magazine subscription – including great titles such as Cycling Plus, Pro-cycling, Mountain Biking UK, What Mountain Bike and Health and Fitness
