Irish cities are evolving, but traffic congestion remains a daily frustration for many. According to recent reports, Dublin ranks among the most congested cities in Europe. But there’s good news: cycling cuts through this gridlock effortlessly.
With the rising cost of fuel, parking, and public transport, cycling can significantly reduce monthly commuting expenses. The scheme allows you to buy a quality bike without a large initial payment, and the tax savings make it even more affordable.
For example, if you purchase a €1,000 bike and pay the higher rate of tax, you’ll only end up paying around €490 over the course of the year.
Cycling builds cardiovascular fitness, boosts mental wellbeing, and provides low-impact exercise that fits easily into a daily routine. Just 30 minutes of cycling a day has been linked to reduced risks of heart disease, diabetes, and depression.
Cycling to work helps cut carbon emissions and reduce air pollution—an important step towards meeting Ireland’s climate goals. Transport is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Ireland, and each person who switches to a bike for commuting helps bring that figure down.
In busy urban centres like Dublin, Cork, and Galway, cycling is often faster than driving or using public transport during rush hour. It also eliminates the need for parking, which can be both costly and inconvenient.
Can I use the scheme if I work part-time? Yes, as long as your employer offers the scheme and your salary can support the deductions.
Is there a minimum distance I must cycle to work? No. Whether you cycle 1 km or 15 km, you’re eligible.
Can I use the bike for leisure as well as commuting? Yes, although the primary purpose must be for commuting to and from work.
Are second-hand bikes covered? No, the scheme only applies to new bikes and accessories purchased through participating retailers.
