Contents

As above, participating businesses must hold a valid public liability insurance policy with cover of £2 million or more and must specifically identify the business as a facility that carries out “bicycle repair work”.
Repairs eligible under the scheme are those which are necessary to make cycles roadworthy and fit for purpose.
To prevent fraudulent claims, evidence of the eligible repair including a photo of both the cycle and receipt are required and must be uploaded onto the portal before payment can be made. This can be done quickly and easily, and separate guidance is provided to help you do this.
Vouchers will cover up to £50 per cycle towards the service and parts that need replacement as part of the repairs. The cycle owner will need to pay the remainder cost if the cost is greater than £50.
For full eligibility criteria please read the full terms and conditions to ensure vouchers redeemed by your business under the scheme can be paid (any inaccurate information provided now or during voucher redemption could result in delay or refusal of payment).

The Fix Your Bike Voucher Scheme aims to encourage more people in England to embrace cycling as an alternative to private cars, particularly while social distancing measures are in place. The scheme is for anyone who has an unused cycle in need of a repair. It will help them get it back on the road by providing £50 towards the cost of a service and repair for up to two cycles per household.
