CYCLING BENEFITS
'DR Bike' Cycle Maintenance Sessions
If your bike is looking a bit tired or you fancy getting back on your bike but you're not sure if it's up to scratch, a Dr Bike session may be for you! As an apprentice or a jobseeker you're entitled to FREE cycle maintenance sessions to help you get your bicycle back in working order.
As a participant, we will work with you to ensure
that we can get your bike up to scratch. Dr Bike can work with you on a 1-1 basis Islandwide. Wherever you may be, whether that's at work or even at home, we can accomodate you.
Bought to you by Nick Blake from Island Bikeworks.
BUILD YOUR OWN BIKE SCHEME
Jobseeker? Why not try the Build Your Own Bike scheme from Aspire Ryde and grab yourself a bike made from reused bike parts?! Talk to Aspire Ryde for more information.
Apprentice bus discount
We understand that as an apprentice getting to work can be difficult in the first couple of months of employment. If you travel by bus, these expenses can be particularly hefty when you're trying to juggle those other expenses.
To ease this financial burden, the Connect2Work Programme is currently offering an 80% discount on a multi-day 30-day ticket on a Key Card for the first month of employment. The retail price of this product is £111 (adult) or £80 (17-18).
To find out more, please talk to your assessor, provider or trainer, or alternatively, fill in the application form on our website, or talk to your Active Travel Officers.
Not a provider? Are you an apprentice that does your apprenticeship directly with your organisation, and not a college or training provider? Contact your Active Travel Officer to see how we can accommodate you.
