On that website i get this message:

We are sorry, but Royal Mail Group's Cycle2work scheme is not currently open.

The scheme will be temporarily closed from Saturday 4th of December 2010 and will re-open on Tuesday 4th January 2011. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

If u want a mountain bike, i'd recommend the Boardman
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165499" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If u want a hybrid, i also have a Marin Muirwood http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/images/prod_18107.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, although mine is a 2009 model, i love it to bits, fantastic bike
but they don't stock it at Halfords, i got it from Leisure Lakes bikes, they no longer have the Muirwood,
but this looks similar http://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/produc ... ?&id=15960" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Leisure Lakes accepted the Halfords voucher at the time (2 years ago) but if u intend going there, ring them first to make sure that they still do,
i'd recommend this shop, it has a much better selection than Halfords.http://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/articl ... px?&id=228" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
as for which type of bike to go for, my personal preference is for a Hybrid for roads and smooth paths, they are relatively lightweight, and faster than mountain bikes, but no suspension.
for country/forest trails and off road, the MTB comes into its own, but its slightly heavier and the width and tread on the tires affects your speed.

good luck.

halfords told me they will order in any bike you want, and if they cant get it, phone the cycle to work scheme and they will sort out alternative places

Halfords are useless at actually assembling the bikes they sell. I'm well into my mountain biking myself and have bought a few bikes down the years. I don't use this scheme because I don't need to but just thought I'd warn anybody who shops at Halfords to make sure they check the build themselves before they ride out. Oh, and whilst I'm here, I'll show you the bikes I'm after:

http://www.evanscycles.com/products/san ... e-ec026131" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'm going for an upgrade soon but I'm finding it really hard to choose between the four. They're all scrummy. I'd probably go with the Santa Cruz right now if they were all standing naked in front of me, but I'm not sure. Still a few months to decide.

Sorry to piss on your parade but RM limit the cost of the bike to £500! and no you can't add to it!

As I said in my post: I don't use this scheme because I don't need to but just thought I'd warn anybody who shops at Halfords to make sure they check the build themselves before they ride out.

I will be buying my next bike myself - just like the previous ones.
