The UK Government’s Cycle to Work scheme enables you to spread the cost of a MASON bike over a period of time, with payments deducted automatically from your salary. Whether your new bike is for commutes or adventures – or both – you can make tax savings and reduce the cost of your new MASON.

There are a range of schemes in place to cover the arrangement of your Cycle to Work purchase.

Green Commute Initiative

We've chosen Green Commute Initiative to be our primary Cycle to Work scheme partner. GCI is a great not-for-profit who keep their fees reasonable and and their admin straightforward. We recommend GCI for your MASON purchase.

• No spending cap (some schemes have a £1,000 cap)

• No scheme final exit fees

• Depending on your tax rate, you’ll save either 28%, 42% or 47% on the cost of the package.

• Pay monthly through salary sacrifice with no added interest.

• Choose a repayment period between 3 and 60 months, in agreement with your employer.

Other providers

We also support 'CycleScheme' 'Cycle Solutions', Halfords Cycle2Work, Bike2Work and Vivup schemes, if you or your employer prefer them

Admin fees

When we provide a bike via any Cycle to Work scheme, we are charged a level of commission by the provider. As a small-batch manufacturer of handbuilt bikes – often with customised specifications – we therefore have to add an admin fee to your purchase, to cover our costs. The overall savings for you still remain considerable.

Green Commute Initiative – 5% +VAT

Bike2Work – 10%

CycleScheme – 10% or £300, whichever is less

Cycle Solutions – 12%

Vivup – 12.5%

Halfords Cycle2Work - 15%

Save or upgrade? You choose

With the (Green Commute Initiative) GCI, you can save up to 47% on new bike builds. This gives you the choice of enjoying the saving, or choosing a range of upgrades that are now within your reach. How about upgrading to electronic shifting, or carbon wheels? Or add a second wheelset, enabling you to switch between 700c and 650b wheels to suit conditions. You can even add clothing or accessories to your overall package.

How to place your Cycle to Work order

1. Choose your model, specification, upgrades and accessories. Ask us if you need advice.

2. Place your order through the MASON website. In the ‘Order Notes’ section, tell us which scheme you’ll be using: our recommendation of Green Commute Initiative, or your own preference.

3. Pay your deposit, as prompted by our website.

4. When you receive your voucher from the scheme provider, please forward it to us at [email protected]. We can then go ahead with confirming your specification and building your bike.

5. When we calculate your final order we will either refund your deposit (minus the admin fee), request an admin fee payment, or, if you’re topping up the level of your order, we’ll invoice you for any outstanding amount.

6. We send you your bike, or you come to collect it from the MASON Barn.

Timescales for this process will depend on the model and specification you choose, and on the timings of our small-batch manufacture. If your paperwork is in place before your order is ready, you can choose for your salary deductions to begin before you get your bike.
