We've committed to providing three separate cycling solutions to help you travel more easily in your local area

We're supporting local staff into employment by removing barriers

We know that there are plenty of people like you who are seeking a career with purpose, but are unable to; we don't want enthusiastic people like you to miss out on a rewarding career simply because you don't have a car

We've put together a number of solutions to help eager and committed people like you to get into employment and start making a difference to people's lives today

Making use of a bike around your local area is a great way to better learn about your community and help build relationships throughout

Using a bike regularly is a great way to improve physical and mental wellbeing as well as health and fitness, whilst enjoying the outdoors

As we all become more environmentally-conscious, using more 'green' modes of transport such as bikes can dramatically reduce our own personal carbon footprint

Own

Use your own bike for travelling at work and be compensated for travel and equipped for safety

Hire

Access bikes when needed with a paid for membership to OVO bikes

Purchase

Purchase a brand new bike through your salary and be compensated for travel

We provide equipment to keep you safe and dry

Waterproof clothing

Bicycle helmet

Water bottle

Rucksack

Own

If you already own a bike, we want you to feel equipped to use it for work and encourage you to do so.

 

You'll already be aware of the benefits that cycling around the City can bring and we want to build on that. We will compensate you per mile travelled, for you to put towards maintenance of your bike. We will also equip you with Pineshield branded wet weather and protective gear to keep you safe on the roads. 

 

We want to make sure we give everyone the best chance to stay safe and so we ask you to take part in a competency check to demonstrate you're confident and competent enough to travel safely around the City.

 

If you'd like to find out more information, please ask a member of our staff team for a copy of our policy.

Hire

We've partnered with OVO Bikes powered by Nextbike to provide you access to bikes across the City. If you want to use a bike for work but don't want to own and maintain one yourself, this may be the solution for you. We will pay for your annual membership and together with OVO Bikes, provide you with up-to-date information on where the nearest bikes are.

 

Just like with any of our other solutions, we will equip you with Pineshield branded wet weather and protective gear to keep you safe on the roads.

 

We want to make sure we give everyone the best chance to stay safe and so we ask you to take part in a competency check to demonstrate you're confident and competent enough to travel safely around the City, however little you may be using the bikes.

For more information, follow the link to OVO Bikes Cardiff site. If you'd like to begin a paid membership with Pineshield, please ask a member of staff for details

Purchase

We've committed to the Green Commute Initiative which enables you to purchase a brand new bike, through instalments granting you your very own bike to use as you wish, once fully paid for. 

 

We will compensate you per mile travelled, for you to put towards maintenance of your bike. We will also equip you with Pineshield branded wet weather and protective gear to keep you safe on the roads. Through this initiative, you'll also be given the opportunity to purchase bespoke equipment at additional cost.

 

We want to make sure we give everyone the best chance to stay safe and so we ask you to take part in a competency check to demonstrate you're confident and competent enough to travel safely around the City.
