Cycle to Work Scheme

Get on your bike to work

One of the wonders of working at Leeds Beckett University is that you can take advantage of the Cycle to Work scheme. This is a scheme that allows staff to hire a bicycle and safety equipment as a tax-free benefit.

The hire period is 12 months, which at the end, you will be given the opportunity to extend the hire period by a further 3 years by paying a one-off continuation deposit. 

Dr Bike

We provide free monthly bicycle medical checkups every first Monday of the month at Rose Bowl, 1st floor opposite Student Hub. This is a pop-up session where you can access the following:

• Free bike checks
• Free brake and gear adjustments
• Lock and lights sales
• Replacement parts (small charge)
• Advice on routes and cycling in Leeds

Date: Monday 2nd October

Time: 10.00 to 14.00

Nikita's experience with Bike Hire Scheme

Read what Nikita, a Masters student at Leeds Beckett, had to say about the Bike Hire scheme and why she recommends it to any student.

"I feel it's our responsibility as citizens of the world to look after the planet"

The cyclist's Winter Warmer

This classic vegetable soup is the perfect meal for cyclists as wintertime is approaching. Easy, nutritious, and tasty, the vegetable soup will warm you up after a rainy ride back home. 

Savour it with slices of French baguette.
