13th June: John Mullins is ready for Action


John's got a Brand New Bike.



Here is a photo of “Operation Transportation 2014 Leader ”John Mullins on the new bike he collected this week.



John takes time to smell the roses on his brand new bike!
 
He and his wife Margaret celebrated the new arrival by going on a long cycle Wednesday Night: as it was so sunny – covering the Lee Fields, River Lee Walk, and up around the Shandon area.  Delightful in this weather.” 

John adds that I also cycled to work this morning.  Also very refreshing and enjoyable.”
 
So John has already started his "Operation Transportation". Check back here over the next twelve days for more updates on his progress or to follow his example and try out a similar cycle.
 
 

Editor's Footnote:

 
If you fancy purchasing a bike under the tax saving incentivised " bike to Work" Scheme, why not ask your employer about it? The Revenue Commissioners have produced a handy FAQ guide which you can download here:
 
Next you can see which bike shops allow you to purchase bikes under the general scheme here: http://taxfreebicycles.com/
 
Some employers have partnered with companies like  https://www.cyclescheme.ie/   or http://www.biketowork.ie/ as these "middle men" companies simplify the administration of the scheme.
