What are you going on about? He's asking about the Cycle2Work scheme. Yes it is still going as somebody already said.

I'd like some of whatever you are on. There are still cycle duties within RM so hardly illegal.

You no longer have to get your bike through Halfords and the amount has gone up to £1000.

For the love of god dont use halfords, they supply good bikes i.e boardman but the build quality and customer service is crap, use the other cycle scheme and get a bike from evans cycles.

I have to agree, I used to be a full time cycle mechanic, I bought two bikes for my lads last Christmas from Halfords and they were in a terrible state when I picked them up, the brakes weren't aligned properly, loose nuts etc to be honest they were both dangerous to ride. I spent an hour at home rechecking and sorting everything so be wary if buying from Halfords.
