It's a bit hypercrytical (not sure the spelling's right there) of RM to offer you a discount on bikes getting you to cycle to work, when they're going to take our delivery bikes off us saying there is a health and safety issue with them! doh!

Cheers for the link, a couple of bikes have taken my eye, going to do a spec check on them and compare them to the Halfords bikes around the same price. :dance

Halfords can source most bikes but you will have to ask them for their price. They sourced a Claud Butler for me, the price was about £40 more than another dealer.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
