Cycle To Work and helmets mid-year, maintenance and repair costs

[SQueeZe]

Different things I believe. I assume maintenance refers to labour and replacement parts are, well, parts.

Interesting, although this comment rings true with me...

TBH if you have enough spare time to worry about splitting the bill for a bicycle chain repair between parts and labour so you can BIK part of it, then I envy you

It appears if you want to claim it if want to chase the pounds. If you are that hell bent on saving such sums then surely you'd put the chain and pads in yourself? At the end of the day it still costs your business and comes out of your pocket so I wouldn't be paying for maintenance I could do myself just because the company is paying.

I guess it depends on what you are getting repaired. If you're spending £500 to get a cracked carbon frame repaired then anything that takes the sting out of it is appreciated.

Did it get cracked while being ridden on a work related journey

Well some work journeys involve taking short cuts through rougher ground as you know.....

I'm sure there are some people out there that really do think a bike worth the price of a small car is a suitable commuter bike.... but the majority just take the piss.

Maybe he was unlucky it just happened to crack during the less than 50% time whilst non commuting. Talk about unfortunate.

You did quote tyres and brakes. Hard work to respond when you keep moving the goal posts.

Is it a recumbent?

Just askin' like.

Just back to a previous point. If a contractor is on a standard low wage high divs they'd have to pay themselves min wage to be eligible which takes some of the benefit out of this? Do they bother checking if the person claiming is on min wage or can contractors slip up by forgetting this point?

What your accountant let you get this through if you weren't?

Go ask your accountant...
