EVESHAM’S MP Nigel Huddleston visited his local Halfords store to meet store colleagues, try out an e-scooter and e-bike and learn more about the recent boom in cycling.
The retailer has seen engagement with the Cycle2Work scheme more than double year on year, and over 45,000 bike repairs and services a week are being carried out by Halfords colleagues.
Speaking after the visit, Mr Huddleston said: “E-bikes are becoming particularly popular, providing people with an efficient and safe way to commute as we continue to fight Covid-19, and I was pleased to hear about the big rise in Cycle2Work scheme applications the company is seeing.
“I’d encourage employees and employers across Worcestershire to take advantage of this government backed scheme, and join the green transport revolution.”
