Cycle to work scheme – save up to 30% on a new bike and pay monthly 

Our Cycle to Work scheme, run by Vivup, helps you save 22% to 30% off a new traditional or electric bicycle and accessories up to the value of £6,000.  

You pay for your new bike in monthly instalments, taken from your PAYE salary before tax every month. 

Visit www.vivupbenefits.co.uk and register as a UHSussex employee to see how much you could save. 

Vivup are now able to offer bikes and accessories from Decathlon via the popular Cycle to Work benefit. This means that employees with access to Vivup’s Cycle to Work can now save up to 42% on a range of bicycles and equipment fulfilled by Decathlon – the world’s largest sporting goods retailer. Plus, you can spread the cost of your order via manageable monthly payments made straight from your salary.

Note: Employees must have worked for at least 6 months before completing the scheme.

Their commercial team will reach out to the bike shop to see if they would like to be part of the Vivup cycle to work scheme.
