Propper poaching, stealth mode and you can get so much closer to easy spooked gear. This year i'm going for a new(er) bike and as i'm in my 50's, ride comfort will play a major part..!

Never fully understood that cycle2work scheme. They still owned the bike even after you paid for it. Or you bought it off then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At the end of the scheme you either buy the bike with one last payment which is still cheaper than buying one new from a shop or after your last payment they still own the bike for a set time but after that it's yours. The payments come out of your wages before tax and the bike is cheaper too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
