This guidance was withdrawn on

The Fix Your Bike Voucher Scheme has closed.

Applies to England

The Department for Transport (DfT) does not plan to release any more Fix Your Bike vouchers and the scheme is now closed.

We continue to work closely with the cycling industry to assess the scheme’s impact, along with Transport for Quality of Life and the University of Westminster.

Background

The Fix Your Bike Voucher Scheme was set up to encourage more people to embrace cycling as a means of travel during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and beyond. Cycling is an excellent way to travel while maintaining social distancing.

It was open to anyone in England who had an unused cycle in need of a repair. Vouchers of up to £50 could be used with bike repairers or mechanics that were registered for the scheme in England.

Only one voucher could be claimed per customer.

The scheme aimed to help increase the number of short journeys made by bike rather than private cars. This shift will have huge benefits for:

  • the climate
  • public health and wellbeing
  • road congestion
  • air quality
