depending who you work for,they might have a deal with halfords where you buy a bike,up to £500 and pay weekly/monthly straight from yer wages,used to be done pre tax but labour soon knocked that on the head    (used to be a similar thing which let you buy a p.c).at least Royal mail does,but im sure other employeers do it,was meant to save the planet and all that  :nerd:

by the way,i cycle 2 1/2 miles each way to work each day,and you do so at your own risk,75% of road users are total kants towards cyclists,so ride aggressively and up the life insurance mate!!

I looked at this.  Work buys the bike and leases it back to you.

I sorted this out with my workplace a couple of years ago as i fancied a more practical commuting bike, fasntastic scheme.
