Cycle to Work Gibraltar
Cycle to Work Gibraltar?
The UK launched a cycle to work scheme in 1999, now the Sustainable Transport Action Group are assisting the Gibraltar Government in preparing Gibraltar’s very own cycle to work scheme. In furtherance of that objective, they have produced a business focused survey which you can take HERE.
What’s motivating all this?
Despite its small size, Gibraltar has a very high vehicle ownership per capita; nowhere else in the world are there more vehicles per kilometre of road network. This in a place where 44% of children aged 5-17 are either overweight or obese; 25% of the adult population over the age of 55 are afflicted by type 2 diabetes.
What Difference will Cycling Make?
The benefits of an active transport system have been widely acclaimed ad nauseum. A myriad of data collected over multiple decades exists to prove investment in active transport pays dividends in the form of healthier and happier residents who are less reliant on the healthcare system. The Government has recognised the wide benefits of active travel through its Active Transport Strategy.
So What is a Cycle to Work Scheme Exactly?
A Cycle to Work scheme uses tax incentives to encourage employers to help employees afford the purchase of a bicycle or eBike for the purpose of travel to and from the workplace.
So Cheaper Bikes for me and My Employees?

Wow, I love that, how can I make this happen?
