Do I have to ride to work everyday?
This is a common question and there's a simple answer and a technical answer...
Simple answer:
- No, you do not have to commute by bike daily.
Technical answer:
- You should use the bike and/or accessories mainly for commuting to and, if relevant, between workplaces.
- At least 50% of the bike and/or accessories use should be for work purposes. For example, if you used the bike 10 times in a year, at least 5 of those journeys must be work-related.
- The bike and accessories can also be used for non-work purposes.
Please remember 🚨
- There is no need for you to keep a log of your Journeys.
- You are unable to claim business mileage allowance when using a bike that is being hired to you by your employer.
