Cycling to Work
Considering making your commute part of your daily workout? We actively encourage staff to walk, run or cycle to work!
Every day more and more people choose to travel to work by bike and it’s not hard to see why. Cycling solves so many problems at once: it keeps you fit; it's fast, cheap, reliable and good for the environment too.
NUH is committed to providing cycle facilities for all staff that chose to travel to work by bicycle as well as a number of schemes aimed at supporting you. These include:
Cycle 2 Work Scheme
We offer a Cycle to Work salary sacrifice scheme to make the cost of a bike more affordable. Members can get up to 47% off the cost of a new bike and accessories. If you have any questions, contact nuhnt.cycle2work@nhs.net.
Free Dr Bike maintenance service
Find the dates and sign-up links each month by signing up to the Staff Wellbeing newsletter, otherwise contact nuhnt.staffwellbeing@nhs.net.
