Our Ride to Work Scheme offers a tax‑efficient, salary‑sacrifice approach that reduces the net cost of a bicycle for employees while providing employers with a cost‑neutral benefit that boosts morale and attracts top talent.
Salary Sacrifice Bike Benefit: Employees receive a new or high‑quality used bicycle and pay for it over 12‑36 months with deductions taken before tax, maximizing savings and simplifying budgeting.
Sustainability Reporting: We provide detailed dashboards and environmental metrics, enabling organisations to track CO₂ reductions, car‑kilometre avoidance and employee engagement in real time.
Employee Wellbeing Program: Beyond physical fitness, the scheme supports mental health by encouraging active commuting, reducing commute stress, and fostering a sense of community among team members.
Partner Shop Network: A curated roster of trusted New Zealand bike retailers ensures every employee has access to expert advice, quality gear and after‑sales support, all managed through our secure online portal.
Employer Support Portal: From onboarding and payroll integration to marketing materials and employee communication kits, our portal offers everything you need to launch and sustain the scheme with minimal effort.
Employee Financial Planning: Complimentary financial advice and budgeting tools help participants plan their repayments, track savings, and maintain financial flexibility throughout the scheme term.

For employers, the program adds immediate value with minimal administrative burden. Our all‑in‑one platform integrates directly with payroll systems, offering real‑time reporting, clear cost structures and dedicated support from start to finish.
Employees experience instant savings of 15‑40% on retail bike prices, coupled with the confidence of a fully insured, warranty‑backed purchase. The programme’s structured repayments remove the upfront financial barrier, encouraging more workers to embrace cycling as a regular part of their routine.
Our sustainability credentials are backed by data: in 2023 alone, participants cut more than 1 million kg of CO₂ emissions and delivered over 32,000 bicycles to New Zealand’s streets. These figures demonstrate the tangible impact of a well‑executed bike‑benefit scheme on carbon reduction and community well‑being.
Looking ahead, Northride is committed to expanding our partner network, enhancing digital tools, and delivering even greater employee wellness benefits. With a future focused on health, savings, and sustainability, we invite companies across New Zealand to join our growing family of forward‑thinking organisations.
