I believe that introducing this scheme would benefit both commuters or visitors and our city.

A free-scheme could operate in our city. People will make a saving. However, it will help people spread the cost out over time. Moreover, it will help employers and employees think about cycling. The average person making a typical daily car commute of four miles each way would save 0.5 tonnes of CO2, or 6% of their annual carbon footprint, by switching to cycling. Cycle to work is good for employer branding and may therefore help your appeal to potential recruits. It demonstrates concern for the welfare of an organisation’s employees. A cycle scheme, like other salary sacrifice schemes, can act as one of those reasons why people may postpone changing jobs. The cost of cycling equipment can be treated as capital expenditure and therefore employers can claim capital allowances against it. Some providers will offer your cycling-to-work employees further discounts on items such as children’s bikes and sunglasses. Cycle to work can fit neatly into a broader reward and benefits strategy.

But there may be possible difficulties. There are unscrupulous people who can steal bicycles. And we need to think about how to solve this problem. I suggest to chip bikes.
