The Government have issued new guidelines which will now allow employees to purchase e-bikes through various schemes, the limit is no longer capped at £1,000. We can provide advice to employers on setting up the scheme within the workplace and we can also offer advice on bikes and accessories to purchase for employees. The scheme can be used annually which allow purchasers to update their bike or accessories on an annual basis.

Did you know that your helmet has a lifespan?

Most manufacturers guidelines recommend that your bicycle helmets are replaced every 3 – 5 years.

Giro's advice is the same:

Clean it with water and soap only, and don’t put any chemical, glue, paint or stickers on it as this might affect the characteristics of the shell.”

• Eric Richter adds, “Treating the helmet with care and not exposing it to extreme temperatures will ensure the helmet lasts as long as possible.”
• The boot of your car can get very hot in the summer, for example, as can a kitbag in direct sunlight.
• You should replace the pads from time to time primarily for safety reasons – they help secure the helmet in the correct position on your head. There’s also comfort and hygiene to think about.
• Beware of insect repellents too, in particular, those that contain DEET because, like some other chemicals, they can compromise the construction of the helmet as well as the appearance.
