Is that what we have got to look forward to if the Van share don't work out :)

Get one of these, it'll last 3 times longer

Which one?

[Stormproof]

Maybe, but if Glennyboy has got two friends they might not want to go to the same place and at the same time as him.

Perhaps one of these might be more suitable

I thought the limit was 400 English Pounds, but one of the lads says its 500 Welsh Pounds, ( due to the new Govt, this now equals 500 English Pounds...)

So, what is it??? Also, can you "top up" the amount and get a spiffy, shiney new bike??? And is Halford our ONLY scheme supplier???

It's around £500 that they start to get a bit of quality...

Thanks all.

TT I don't know if they still do it but my voucher(£350) had an extra 10%(i think) added to it, a sort of freebie for lights/helmet etc. If you don't see the bike you want in Halfords they can source it for you. I got a Claud Butler Hybrid which they sourced, was about £40 dearer than the shop I see it in. You can get a decent bike for £500, I don't think I would want to spend much more incase it got nicked at work.

The maximum Royal Mail allow is £500 which has to be used through Halfords, you can not top up with your own money. If you are after a particular bike that Halfords do not sell they can order some other makes in as a special order.

You are also allowed free accessories worth 15% of the amount you choose to spend which you also get from Halfords.

I have 2 through the scheme one for going to work the other for leisure . Got a voucher recently to cover some repairs and services on both of them as well.

This is the first I have heard about this scheme. Anyone care to elaborate on it slightly as the details of the scheme are a bit sketchy within the thread.

If I am managing to get the jist of things correctly:- RM gives you a voucher for upto £500 to buy a bike from Halfords and you pay it back in instalments? Taken off your wage every week kinda thing?

[not me]

The accessory offer isnt in place now IIRC
you can use your voucher at any shop running cycle2work,however since Halfords adminstrate the scheme.
they charge the shop 10%,meaning the shop doesnt have leeway for deals discounts that Halfords have.

3 times longer,....................cool - the wife will be more than happy with 21 seconds.

the ideal number of bikes to own can be expressed as n+1, where n=the number currently owned. it can also be expressed as s-1, where s=the number of bikes owned that will cause your other half to leave...
