Bike to Work scheme to be extended

The Bike to Work tax break scheme is to be extended for another five years.

The service brought in by the Green Party in 2009 allows commuters to get a bike tax-free worth up to a €1,000 through their employer.

Anyone who availed of the Bike to Work scheme in 2009 is now entitled to get a second bike tax-free worth the same amount.

The announcement comes as the Irish Cycling Show takes place at Dublin's RDS today.
