CYCLING - The Cycle to Work scheme was introduced in 1999—the aim being to encourage people to make healthier and more environmentally friendly lifestyle choices.
The scheme allows employees to spend on bikes and equipment, tax-free, making a claimed saving of up to 42 per cent on the overall value.
You can get gym membership by asking your doctor if obesity is an issue, alas this cycling scheme is only for employees.
Local Authorities have been adding cycle lanes to road developments during the Covid-19 crisis. There has been a backlash against this in some places. Motorists who fund the roads via car tax are being excluded from driving on some of the roads they have paid for. Huge fines for driving on Bus Gates and Bus Lanes are resented. In Berlin, there has been a rash of deaths of cyclists as cycle lanes have been ignored by negligent motorists.
