Two counterfeit manufacturing facilities producing goods worth over $1 million have been shut down after an investigation by Chinese law enforcement, Specialized and AliExpress uncovered the illegal production of hundreds of bicycle parts and frames, including Specialized Roval frames, handlebars and wheels.

The investigation began after Specialized raised concerns with e-commerce retailer AliExpress about the quality of the bikes sold on their site after performing quality checks. From there, AliExpress shared information with Chinese law enforcement that allowed them to trace the supply chains back to the original manufacturer.

Among the goods seized were $1.1 million of counterfeit Specialized Tarmac SL8 road racing frames, 9,500 sticker sets, seatposts, forks, Roval handlebars and wheels. Fake Pinarello, Cannondale, Cervelo and Trek products were also discovered during the investigation. AliExpress estimates that the combined street value of these goods could amount to more than $1.6 million.

A budget cap is expected to be imposed on the Cycle to Work scheme in the upcoming Budget, it has been reported.

The scheme, launched in 1999, allows people in the UK to save tax on bikes by 'loaning' them from their employers, allowing prospective cyclists to save up to 42% on the cost of a full price bike, with payments automatically deducted from their salary.

On Thursday, the Financial Times reported that the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, is expected to limit how much someone could spend on a bike through Cycle to Work, after speaking people at the Treasury.

One source said: "Cycle to Work should be about helping ordinary commuters switch to greener travel, not giving tax breaks to high earners buying £4,000 e-bikes for weekend rides in the Surrey Hills. Taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for luxury leisure."
