Wait until they start Glencrutchery (rumoured mid-September). There is no network planning of any sort. There should be easy routes into town. The elephant in the room is that Douglas needs a new multistorey car park. But the crayonistas in DOI think we'll all ride a pushbike instead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbnuts Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 And this is why ! The Cycle to Work Scheme is a scheme which allows all Isle of Man Government permanent employees who meet the conditions outlined in Section 5 to obtain cycles and cycle safety equipment from their employer. ... The cost to the employer is no more than £1,200 per employee in any period of three tax years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
