probably better and cheaper - going to gumtree or ebay and buying 2nd hand.

500 to 1000 smackeroos on a bike to cycle to work?

lots of people over the last 2 years have bought really good bikes with the same intention, but never use them or rarely use them, and then they sell the bikes on gumtree or ebay, so you get double the discount and you've saved yourself some cash!

that's my opinion - other opinions are available as are other auction sites
