The Government have released another 150,000 bike repair vouchers this week as part of their scheme to get people walking or cycling more.

Cyclists can now apply for a free £50 bike repair voucher.

This is part of a £2billion package introduced by Grant Shapps which aims to get people walking and cycling more.

There are 500,000 vouchers in total available for cyclists, and this week another 150,000 have been released.

The first set of 50,000 vouchers were scooped up immediately when they were released at the end of July 2020.

In November last year, another 50,000 were released for bike owners to claim.

After you obtain your voucher, you can use it at bike repair shops that are registered with the scheme.
