The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) was created in July 2016. The answer therefore covers from this date.<\/p>
<\/p>
Since its creation BEIS has been supportive of promoting cycling to work; recognising the benefits this brings to the health and wellbeing of the workforce, as well as reducing the environmental impact of the department in general. In response to the specific questions:<\/p>
<\/p>
(a) BEIS has spent a total of £16.8k on installing bicycle racks (this figure includes the cost of materials).<\/p>
(b) BEIS does not offer a bonus scheme for bicycle use.<\/p>
