Cycles for key workers

We want to help our frontline heroes cycle to and from work safely during the Covid-19 pandemic.

So we've created an interactive map to help key workers find bike offers and services in their area.

How to use the map

Our map shows cycle offers and discounts available to all key workers (including NHS staff) across the UK.

And it also shows all the bike shops that are staying open during the pandemic.

Browse the map, or use the search box to look up your postcode or area.

A huge thank you to the Association of Cycle Traders and Bicycle Association for providing us with a list of open bike shops across the UK.

Can't find an offer near you?

Our map is updated daily, so check back soon.

You'll find a list of UK-wide offers and services below. 

And check out the full list of offers across London.
