my second hand roadster even if the paintwork is a bit dull.
I'll take that bet

you do if you pay a £30 settlement fee at the end of 18 months. ( You have to pay this even if you do not keep it !! some sort of collection fee) so you do get to keep it.

It has started again, i got my bike through the scheme approx' 6 weeks ago,
this is my second bike that i've got through the cycle2work scheme,
aside from Halfords, you can use Leisure lakes bikes http://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
you can also use Harry Hall http://www.harryhallcycles.co.uk/directory.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, but they only accept the voucher for Brompton bikes for some reason :arrrghhh
the bike i got is the Boardman mountain bike sport http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165499" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;,
i'd recommend it, at the moment though, it's a little over the £500 limit on the scheme, but just wait till you see it on special offer (i got mine for £475).
