My brother has finally managed to secure a Cycle to Work (C2W) scheme offer from his employer after a lot of back and forth. He needs to select it in his benefits portal by 20th December. The scheme is through Cyclescheme and seems to have a £1,600 limit.
As someone who hasn’t used the C2W scheme before but wants to give him some useful advice, I’ve been looking at complete bikes within that price range. To be honest, the options don’t seem too promising—maybe I’m looking in the wrong places or just have higher expectations.
Should he go ahead and claim the voucher as soon as possible? That way, I presume he’ll have more time to shop around and potentially benefit from January sales. Would be great to hear from anyone who's had experience of this before.
